Pensioner was 'unlawfully killed'

A verdict of unlawful killing has been returned at an inquest into the death of an 85-year-old man whose home was deliberately set on fire.

Former farmer Kenneth Nunn, of Newton Road in Whittleseford, Cambridgeshire, died at his home on 7 September.

Coroner Michael Morris was told forensic tests showed petrol had been poured through Mr Nunn's letterbox and set alight.

Police told the inquest there was no obvious motive for the attack.
