A man who was injured trying to extinguish his blazing car outside his Derry-Londonderry home says those responsible for the attack are ‘cowards’.
Waren Roberts was awoken at half 3 yesterday morning after his partner spotted the fire at their Sevenoaks home.
The family’s attackers also threw a petrol bomb at the house and daubed graffiti on their gable wall branding Waren a ‘drug dealer.
They also posted a death threat in their letterbox with a bullet and placed a gas canister in his car before setting it alight.
He spoke to QRadio about his ordeal:
