AN ILLEGAL immigrant fire-bombed two homes in a terrifying revenge attack.
Tatenda Murenha, 27, struck in the dead of night following a long-running feud with people associated with Hemp Nation shop, in Heaton, Newcastle.
Murenha despised worker David Hildrew because he was passing information to the police about him, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
So he plotted his revenge and set about building a number of petrol bombs out of beer bottles in his home in St Anthony’s House, in the Byker Wall, Newcastle.
The court heard the failed asylum seeker wanted to send a warning to his enemy and the attacks followed a number of confrontations.
Prosecutor Paul Caulfield said Murenha had thrown water through Mr Hildrew’s letterbox six weeks earlier, along with a box of matches and a note threatening “next time it’s for real”.
Then, in the early hours of December 19 last year, Mr Hildrew heard four loud cracks in the backyard of his home in Spencer Street, Heaton, Newcastle.
Mr Caulfield said: “Mr Hildrew went to his kitchen window and was astounded to see the entire yard ablaze. There was a strong smell of petrol.”
A passing police officer heard the sound of breaking glass and chased after Murenha as he ran towards Chillingham Road.
He saw Murenha pull out two more petrol bombs and throw them at the Hemp Nation shop where Jason Brown was asleep upstairs.
Mr Caulfield said: “Fortunately for him, although substantial damage was caused to the shop window, he was oblivious to the fact the defendant had attacked his premises.”
PC Ronald Thompson followed Murenha and confronted him, spraying him with CS gas and hitting him with a baton as he struggled to restrain him.
Murenha continued to resist arrest and threatened one of the officers at the police station, saying: “I’m going to do to your family what I tried to do tonight,” the court heard. continues here
