Man jailed four years for smoking on plane


A former soldier who was jailed forsmoking on a plane after he started a fire which 'could have killed 200 on board' has had his sentence doubled to almost ten years.
John Cox, 46, was initially locked up for four-and-a-half years after admitting committing arson during a Monarchflight from Birmingham to Sharm el-Sheikh in 2015.
But the Court of Appeal agreed with the Attorney General the sentence was unduly lenient and increased it to nine years and six months.
Drunk Cox forced the captain of the Egypt-bound airbus containing 194 passengers and seven crew to issue a 'mayday' call after lighting a fire in the toilets.

Her first daughter, 20-year-old Adunoluwa, was expectedly badly shaken upon hearing the news of her mother’s death. The young light-skinned girl wailed bitterly and had to be taken to a secluded room to sleep. When Sunday Scoop visited the residence the next day, Adun was calmer and more composed and she sat under the canopy erected in the compound to receive guests. Many of the well-wishers hugged and commiserated with her. In a brief chat with our correspondent, it was clear that the pain was still raw in Adun’s heart as she said, “This is the worst kind of news anyone can hear.
