Smith, 36, was denied bail and was set to appear at Norwich Crown Court yesterday.

However, the courts have confirmed that the hearing will now take place on January 31.

Smith has yet to enter a plea to a charge of arson with intent to endanger life, while police were investigating additional offences of possessing a weapon and criminal damage.
