Junaid Saddique, 55, who pled guilty at Edinburgh High Court, was convicted of culpable homicide following the death of Rahul Thakur in Pollokshields on Tuesday, June 1, 2021.

Families were also left without homes after the fire caused millions of pounds of damage.
Commenting on Saddique's sentence, Detective Inspector Darren Munogee said: “Rahul Thakur died as a result of his neighbour setting fire to his own flat in what was a senseless and reckless act.
