On March 23, 2011, the then 18-year-old Jordan Morgan and accomplice Karl Heaton of Smithy Lane in St. Annes deliberately set fire to the Easterleigh Animal Shelter in St. Annes, killing five cats, four kittens, 16 chickens and one rabbit. The pair also caused £25,000 worth of damage to the premises of the cash-strapped animal charity.

As well as the starting the blaze at Easterleigh, Morgan and Heaton admitted setting fire to the Fylde Scout headquarters on Heyhouse Lane, a Volkswagen van on Clarendon Road, and a garage on Church Road in St Annes.

Morgan was also later convicted of trying to dig his way to freedom at Preston Prison after plotting a Colditz-style escape bid.

During the arson trial, Karl Heaton described Morgan as a ‘nutcase’ and said he was ‘crazy and spontaneous’.

Sentencing (November 2012): four years and four months in jail, later reduced to three years on appeal.

  1. I think these are Disturbed Young Men with very Sad Lives, and Cannot Be Trusted With Anything.

  2. I sure do hope that for the person posting all information above has permission to do so, and has all proven facts.
    This can also be taken and put on a cruelty list because this is slander and discrimination!

    1. It would be libel rather than slander. If you have a problem with what’s written here then take it up with the newspapers as those are our source.

    2. The additional information is anecdotal but based on information received directly from the person involved. Explain “discrimination” in the context of this article.

  3. Jordan Morgan AKA Stuart Little AKA The Kitten Cooker AKA The Chicken Cracker 😂😂😂😂 Free em both f*ck the system 🔓🔓🔓
