THE former general manager of a hotel where a fire claimed the lives of three people has been arrested along with his wife.
Andy Woollam, 42, and his wife Sarah, 36, were arrested in connection with blaze at the Penhallow Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, which is owned by a Halifax firm.
The couple have been released on bail.
