A MAN police were searching for who was previously jailed for killing a Warndon sex offender has been found.
The Worcester News has previously reported on the search for Daniel Martin, who was handed a 10 year jail sentence for manslaughter in 2013 for killing convicted sex offender Andrew Heath.
Police have issued a statement saying they located Martin, who was released on licence from HMP Birmingham in October 2017, earlier today.
The police add a 29-year-old man has been arrested, and have thanked people for sharing the appeal.
Martin, who was living in Canterbury Road, Ronkswood, in 2011, set fire to a wheelie bin and pushed it up against the front door of Mr Heath's Warndon flat in the early hours of December 14, that year, sparking a rapidly spreading and ferocious blaze in which the 52-year-old was killed.
