ARSON victim Keasha Kellam is set to flee her Forest home after being warned the husband who torched their flat is about to be freed from jail.

Matthew Pond was jailed for four years for starting the blaze which destroyed a shop and flats in Market Street, Cinderford in July 2011.

His 29-year-old American wife is terrified he will come looking for her when he is released this summer after serving just two years.

Before leaving she wants to thank people in the Forest for all their support after the early morning inferno.

"Everybody has been so supportive and stood by me, but it's for the best."
