Two men have been arrested on suspicion of arson.

Good progress. Hopefully they’re not just taking the fall for the people responsible.

New arrests in Crooked House pub inquiry


Two more people have been arrested over a blaze that tore through the Crooked House pub.

Once known as "Britain's wonkiest" inn, the pub in Staffordshire was hit by the fire on 5 August, and demolished less than two days later.

A woman, 34, and a man, 44, both from Leicestershire, have been detained.

They were held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent or being reckless as to whether life was endangered, police said.

The pair have since been released on bail while investigations continue, Staffordshire Police added.

Three other men, aged 66, 51 and 33, all previously arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, remain on bail.

Officers are continuing to appeal for any information that may help the continuing investigation.

Excellent. That'll be the vile couple who own it, having to face the music.

They'd previously fled the country and stayed in a £20,000-a-week villa, where they were heard complaining about media coverage of the fire.

I wonder how long it will take ITV to churn out a two-part Sunday evening drama about all this? With the two culprits being loveable rogues.
