Richard Burgess and Neil Morris both died in a fire on December 15 last year.
PA Media: UK News Hakeem Kigundu, 32, who killed two of his neighbors last year, apologized in court, saying the teachings of the Quran had changed him and forced him to plead guilty.
Hakeem Kigundu admitted to setting fire to the ground floor of Rowe Court in Reading, Berkshire, on December 15 last year by pouring petrol, killing 46-year-old Richard Burgess and 45-year-old Neil Morris.
He said: "I was approached by Mr Webb (Rowe Court resident) and I don't remember exactly what he said, but it made me angry and I lit the flame.
“Soon thereafter, I went to the police station and handed myself over to the police.
"I want to point out that I have never tried to obstruct justice."
He continued: "I'm sorry, it's not because I'm being punished," I believe actions speak louder than words and that punishment is the path to forgiveness and redemption.
According to the Qur'an, injustice is one of the worst sins we can commit, which is why I took responsibility for my sin, blamed myself and took full responsibility for my actions.
On 20 September, the court found Kigundu guilty of two counts of murder, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm and one count of arson with intent to endanger life.
The court sentenced Hakim Kigundu to life imprisonment on Friday, 7 October 2022.
