Dimitri Lionel Xepapas Fire Bomber

Fire-bomber gets jail for attack

A southern Tasmanian man who fire-bombed the house of his fiancee's ex-boyfriend has been sentenced to 12 months jail.

The Hobart Criminal Court heard Dimitri Lionel Xepapas threw two petrol bombs at the Launceston house, where five people were sleeping.

In sentencing, Justice Pierre Slicer said Xepapas had acted in the belief he was protecting his fiancee.

Justice Slicer suspended six months of the jail sentence.
