A DRUNKEN man grabbed his girlfriend’s clothes and set them alight outside her flat after she had refused to spend the night with him.
The blaze spread to a first floor window and a drainpipe on the ground floor of the two-storey block in Southampton.
Godfrey Mukondo, pictured, 32, of Stafford Road, Southampton, was convicted of arson when reckless as to whether lives would be endangered, and assaulting his 17-year-old girlfriend.
At the city crown court, Judge Derwin Hope jailed Mukondo for four years.
