Cowardly pair killed grandad after setting wrong house on fire in botched 'revenge attack' on rival

The elderly couple were helped out of their house by neighbours, who happened to have been arriving home in a taxi from Manchester Airport at the time. They also used water to extinguish the fire.
Mrs Redmond was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation and was discharged shortly after. But Mr Redmond was left "writhing around in pain" after
