A man has been convicted after setting fire to a home in Fraserburgh while a woman was inside. Michal Morawski, 32, pleaded guilty to wilful fire-raising and danger to life at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday.
The incident occurred in the early hours of June 27 last year at a property in Glover Close. A 29-year-old woman was inside the home at the time of the deliberate fire.
Morawski is due to appear for sentencing at the High Court in Glasgow on August 7. Detective Sergeant Richard Cooper of Fraserburgh CID described the ordeal as 'hugely distressing' for the victim, who could have lost her life.
Cooper added: 'He will now have to face the consequences of his despicable actions and I hope this will help the victim in moving forward. We are committed to bringing perpetrators of such violent crimes to justice.'
