Teenager denies arson attack murder
A teenager yesterday denied murdering an elderly woman who died after an arson attack.
Rebecca Reasbeck, 18, is accused of killing Irene Herring, 85, who died in hospital from pneumonia brought on by smoke inhalation after firefighters rescued her from her East Sussex nursing home on February 1 last year.
Reasbeck, of Upper Park Road, St Leonards, also pleaded not guilty to a charge of manslaughter. She was bailed until her trial on September 20.
