Man's bizarre actions as fire engulfed his flat 'could have ended in tragic consequences'
06.11.2023 - 07:50 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Residents in an apartment block were left in fear after a man 'did nothing' when a blaze engulfed his flat. The fire began accidentally at Jason Madegwa's home in Hulme after he discarded a lighter in the property.
But instead of calling for the fire brigade, the 52-year-old 'did nothing', Manchester Crown Court heard. A neighbour called 999 and banged on the doors of other properties as smoke poured out of the flat.
When firefighters and police arrived he was 'positively obstructive'. Madegwa said that weeks earlier he had been seriously assaulted by a man who also lived in the apartment block.

On the night of the fire, the man was filming the blaze from nearby and Madegwa said he feared he was 'going to kill him'. Prosecutors told how the blaze broke out at about midnight on September 18 last year at a first floor flat on Old Birley Street, within a four storey complex containing 22 other flats.
Madegwa, who lived at the property with his partner, later said it started accidentally after the lighter had 'exploded'. He told others that he would 'sort it out' but instead 'did nothing'.
Firefighters arrived quickly at the scene and no-one was hurt, but Madegwa was said to have been 'obstructive' to both them and the attending police. The blaze caused considerable damaged to the flat, totalling at least £65,000, with the cost still rising with more work having to be carried out.
Residents were left in 'fear' for their safety and were concerned that it could have spread. Madegwa, who has more than 150 offences on his record, pleaded guilty to arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
