A woman identified as Martha Goddard, 51, is convicted following a series of arson attacks in Norwich, Norfolk, involving premises linked to McDonald’s, Starbucks and the BBC, according to reports. The outlets say Goddard constructed homemade incendiary devices and triggered them using lit sparklers before targeting a string of properties. The coverage characterizes the campaign as violent and frames it as part of a pro-Palestine, anti-Israel effort, though the reports focus on the criminal conduct and court outcome rather than broader political claims.
Both sources state that the conviction comes after the incidents in Norwich and that Goddard faces prison. The reporting emphasizes the method used—incendiary devices made at home and set off during the attacks—rather than detailing additional evidence or the specific charges in court. The outlets do not provide information about the extent of damage, injuries, or whether any further suspects are involved. The case is presented as a conviction for violent wrongdoing tied to the arson attacks.
