Jackie Lloyd, 54, and her son Adam Lloyd chanted 'the roof is on fire'
A mum filmed herself and her son "openly celebrating" and "dancing" after setting fire to her ex-partner's boat, which he was living on.
The video also featured Adam chanting: “The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire" and his mother rambled "999 hurry up" and "999 go on".Peter Hussey, prosecuting, told how the fire took place shortly after Jackie Lloyd and Mr Hill ended their relationship. In a final call between the pair, Mr Hill heard "footsteps on metal, which sounded exactly like footsteps on the deck of the barge and she then rang off". Witnesses saw the pair onboard the barge and reported "noisy damage being caused and shouts by both of the defendants".
The pair initially pleaded not guilty to joint arson intending to damage or destroy property , but entered guilty pleas after being presented with damning footage taken from the son’s phone that showed them in dancing and singing in front of the burning boat. Mr Barnett said Adam Lloyd has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but hadn't been taking his medication for about two months at the time due to side-effects.
