what is the punishment for arson in the uk
Arson In English law, arson was a common law offence (except for the offence of arson in royal dockyards)[17] dealing with the criminal destruction of buildings by fire. The common law offence was abolished by s.11(1) of the Criminal Damage Act 1971.[18] The 1971 Act makes no general distinction as to the mode of destruction except that s.1(3) requires that if the destruction is by fire then the offence will be charged as arson; s.4 of the Act provides a maximum penalty of life imprisonment for conviction under s.1 whether or not the offence is charged as arson. In Hong Kong, the common law offence was abolished by s 67 of the Crimes Ordinance 1971 (Part VIII of which, as amended by Crimes (Amendment) Ordinance 1972,[19] mirrored the English Criminal Damage Act 1971).[20] Like the English counterparts, 63 of the 1972 Ordinance provides a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, and s 60(3) of the Ordinance requires that if the damage is by fire the offence should be charged as arson.

In April 2013, following an eight-week trial, he and his wife Mairead, together with their friend Paul Mosley, were found guilty of their manslaughter.[2] He was given a life sentence with a minimum of term of 15 years' imprisonment.[3] Psychologist Glenn Wilson described Philpott as clinically a "psychopath" and "exhibitionist" with "antisocial personality disorder."[4]
