Teenager jailed for fire that killed his two sisters
Shane Spence, 18, was given an indeterminate jail sentence after he was found guilty by a jury at Newcastle Crown Court for the manslaughter of Tatum Leah, 14 and Demi Jade, 12.
Spence poured petrol on to the living room sofa then set it alight as the family slept at their three-bedroom house in Lisle Road, South Shields, South Tyneside, in April last year.
