The death of a 'lovely' grandad who was killed after a fire attack on his home is now being as murder. George Redmond, 76 and his wife, Mary were forced to flee their house in Dorien Road, Old Swan after it was set alight in the early hours of September 1 this year.It is understood that the pensioner fell down the stairs as he hurried out the house which resulted in serious injuries that required medical attention, the Liverpool Echo reports.According to the devastated family, George was apparently making good progress with his rehabilitation but passed away suddenly on September 16 while in hospital.Witnesses in the area at the time of the incident said how panicked neighbours battered on George and Mary's windows to wake them after their front door was set on fire.A petrol can was also left on the driveway.
A statement issued by the family, shortly after George's passing said: "With extreme sadness we announce the death of a lovely husband, dad and granddad, George Redmond, who died suddenly on September 16 in hospital."He was making great progress in his rehabilitation and was already mobile and regaining his independence so his sudden death was unexpected and utterly tragic and we as a family are absolutely struggling to come to terms with it all.
We are beyond heartbroken and hope whoever is responsible for this appalling act is swiftly brought to justice."George leaves behind his much loved wife Mary to whom he was married for 52 amazing years and three much loved daughters, Kathryn, Karyn and Angela, as well as six grandchildren – and not forgetting Belle, his beloved cockapoo.
We will love and miss him forever and hope there is a steady supply of custard creams wherever he is now."Rest peacefully George Redmond.
