Lincolnshire Police have also updated their own news page relating to the incident, which now includes additional images and video footage of the cyclist seen in the area at the time of the attack.
Peter and Sylvia Cox have told BBC News that they are “devastated and baffled” by the firebomb attack on their house, in Castle Bytham, last week and could not understand why anyone would want to hurt them. Peter said: “Police have been talking to us about this and everything we could possibly have thought of we’ve told them – but we’ve not really thought of anything which is specific.”
TheBythams was shocked by the news that an arsonist had attacked the home of an elderly couple, Peter and Sylvia Cox, in Castle Bytham during the early hours of Wednesday morning (4 May 2011). From comments already made in the May issue of the Glenside News, which Peter has edited for a number of years, this was the fourth of a series of similar incidents at the house. The Stamford Mercury report also suggests that this is not the only house in the village experiencing the same mindless activity. Hopefully Lincolnshire Police will bring those responsible to justice at the earliest opportunity.
