An arsonist who started a fire that damaged a Beatles attraction in the Liverpool street where the band made their name has been jailed.
Daniel Byrne, 38, was caught on CCTV on 14 July setting alight rubbish piled up outside the Beatles Museum in Mathew Street, close to where the famous original Cavern Club venue was.
When he was arrested, Byrne, of no fixed address, claimed he had done it because he was being bullied by the government.
He was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court to three and a half years behind bars for arson with recklessness as to whether life was endangered.
