Arsonist Annie Clinton is refusing to leave her home despite a court order.

The 63-year-old was convicted of arson at Exeter Crown Court after putting lit paper through neighbour Phillippa Horner's letterbox.

The court heard that Miss Clinton "harboured a dislike" for Miss Horner after she complained to the police about the behaviour of her neighbour's boyfriend.
