Teenager pleads guilty to starting fire at Bradford charity's premises
A TEENAGER is in custody awaiting sentence for starting a fire at a homeless people's charity in Bradford.
Antoni Carre, 19, of Westwood Keyhouse Hostel in Richmond Street, Keighley, pleaded guilty to reckless arson on November 16.
His denial of the more serious charge of arson with intent to endanger life was accepted by the prosecution at Bradford Crown Court today.
Carre appeared for the hearing on a video link from Doncaster Prison.
He admitted damaging by fire furniture belonging to Keyhouse Centre Point.
Carre's lawyer, Assumpta O'Rourke, asked for the case to be adjourned for psychiatric and probation service reports.
Carre will be sentenced on March 17.
