Crooked House: Fire at ‘wonkiest’ pub being treated as arson

Staffordshire Police are treating the destruction of Britain’s ‘wonkiest' pub as arson.

The Crooked House near Dudley caught fire on Saturday evening, just over a week after it had been sold to new owners.

Around 30 firefighters tackled the blaze, but said they were initially impeded by a blocked access road.

The remains of the pub were then unexpectedly bulldozed on Monday.

South Staffordshire Council said it had not agreed to the total destruction of the 18th Century building.

Police say they have spoken to the owners of the pub and continue to engage with them.

Fire investigators examined the grounds on Wednesday, but as yet have not determined the cause of the fire.

Asylum seeker sentenced to life for revenge terror killing

A Moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in jail for murder, with a minimum term of 45 years, at Teesside Crown Court. In October last year, 45-year-old Ahmed Alid stabbed Iranian Christian convert Javed Nouri at the house he was sharing with other asylum seekers before looking for more victims in Hartlepool town centre. He then stabbed and killed 70-year-old Terence Carney who was out for his regular early morning walk.
