Ex-boyfriend set pet pig alight

A man who set fire to his former partner's pet pig and car has been jailed for four years.

Paul Waterfield, 47, formerly of Jerningham Road, Norwich, admitted arson and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

The court heard he had been in a four-year relationship with Sarah Laurence-Couzens before moving out of their home in Jerningham Road in the spring.

The car was destroyed and the pig was put down after the attack in August.

Waterfield had also tried to pour petrol through the letterbox of the house.

When Waterfield was arrested he said he could not remember what had happened, the court was told.
