ARSONIST FOUGHT FOR THEIR LIVES.

THE BLAZE WHILE HIS COLLEAGUE, TOO TERRIFIED TO CLIMB OUT OF THE

TO BE DETAINED INDEFINITELY AT A HIGH SECURITY MENTAL HOSPITAL.

NAZZARENO PACE ,57, OF MILE END ROAD, STEPNEY WAS FOUND

HUNDREDS OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS AND OFFICE WORKERS SAW THE

BLAZING BODY OF 35 YEAR OLD STEPHEN DENYER PLUNGE TO THE GROUND AS HE
