A TEENAGER whose last Facebook status seems to be a chilling insight into what was to come has pleaded guilty to arson.
At 8.48am on January 20 Rachel Sroka posted: “u either love some one or u hate them” on her page.
And less than 10 hours later firefighters were in a flat in Lenham House, Lamberhurst Close, Orpington, battling to put out the blaze she started.
Sroka, of Clovelly Way, Orpington, was arrested at the scene of the fire and was charged with arson.
The 18-year-old has now pleaded guilty to four counts of arson recklessly endangering life.
She is due to be sentenced at Croydon Crown Court on April 28.
Three other people, a 52-year-old woman and two men aged 56 and 27, were arrested along with the teenager following the fire.
They were all released without charge.
