His son Bohdan, 21, broke both his legs as he was forced to leap from a first floor window to escape the inferno.

American translation: "...as he was forced to leap from a second floor window..." In Europe, and I think also in GB, the floors in a three-storey house would be called "ground floor, first floor, second floor" but in America it would be "first, second, third" floors. So breaking both legs on a leap from the first floor is a bit rougher than Americans might first believe.

Either that, or the guy landed very, very badly from not very high.

The Medway towns have seen a series of arson attacks in the past month, and officers are investigating the possibility of a link.

A link such as ... Islam? Or perhaps Mr. Muhammadi is a firebug. If the fires stop now that he and his accomplice are in custody, that would be a clue.

When concrete meets a human leg, it is usually not the concrete that gets cracked.

Arson: Melissa Crook and Danai Muhammadi on their wedding day. Muhammadi is believed to have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

I feel more sorry for the 15-month old innocent baby than I do for the woman.
