Arsonists Sentenced for Elderly Woman's Home Fire | Sheffield News

Two men, Samuel Moffett and Callum Walters, were sentenced for a brutal arson attack on a 78-year-old woman’s home—Moffett poured petrol and lit the fire while Walters waited in the car, even bragging about it online. The victim suffered smoke inhalation, her home was destroyed, and police used CCTV and phone records to convict them despite initial denials. After a trial that traumatized the family, the jury convicted them in June 2026, with Walters getting 12 years plus 3 on extended license and Moffett 8 years plus 3. Authorities say justice was served, offering some comfort after a horrific act of senseless violence.
