Groom Max Kay who set wedding hotel on fire jailed for arson
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/03/2278.jpg Max Kay admitted starting the fire at his wedding venue on 19 June
A groom who deliberately set fire to the Cheshire hotel where his wedding reception was being held has been jailed for six years.
Max Kay, 37, of Liverpool, admitted starting the blaze at Peckforton Castle Hotel in Tarporley in June last year.
Chester Crown Court heard that Kay was "massively" drunk and had argued over the bar tab and wider wedding bill.
He was sentenced after admitting arson that was reckless as to whether life was endangered.
Passing sentence, Judge Roger Dutton said: "There is a long background to this - principally surrounding, it would appear, your ego.
"Having been made bankrupt... you embarked upon a wedding that would involve paying a figure of approximately £25,000 for a ceremony you could nowhere near afford.
"It was all to maintain a bravado with friends and family and to make it appear you could afford such largesse to friends and family and those you wanted to impress.
"In the end you sought, and achieved, revenge against the proprietors of Peckforton Castle."
Kay, a property developer and father of four, gave no reaction as he was sentenced.
