Plumber sentenced after explosion at Willenhall bungalow

A Wolverhampton plumber has been given a ten-month suspended jail sentence for causing a gas explosion and fire in which a pensioner sustained 21 per cent burns rescuing his nine-year-old granddaughter.

Peter Naylor, of Wednesfield, removed the gas meter at the property in Arnhem Road to reach a leaking water stopcock he was repairing in December last year.
