44-year-old Craig McQuillian was jailed for six years after attempting to murder a young child and another man at a high-rise block of flats in Edinburgh. McQuillian was caught on CCTV carrying a metal crowbar and a plastic bag filled with petrol, which he used to set fire to the door of the victims' flat. A young boy inside the flat raised the alarm by shouting "fire", allowing the other occupant to extinguish the flames with a wet towel. McQuillian pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh.
