A MAN is behind bars awaiting sentence for setting fire to his Bradford home.

Lee Pamment, 40, pleaded guilty to reckless arson at the address in Walmer Villas, Manningham, on November 26, 2021.

Today, he appeared before Bradford Crown Court on a video link to Leeds Prison when Recorder Patrick Palmer fixed his sentencing date for March 2.

The court was told that a psychiatric report was now ready and that it would be sent to the probation service for its input into the type of sentence he should receive.

Pamment was remanded back into custody until the sentencing hearing.
