Behind the “fire devil from Burgenland” lies a long series of fires. Late Saturday evening, the father of the family struck again in Wulkaprodersdorf in the Eisenstadt-Omgeving district. Now the alleged arsonist could be caught in the act. To arrest!
The state security center in Eisenstadt received several emergency calls on Sunday night. A covered pile of wood and bales of straw were on fire. A smaller fire was discovered on the Wulkab slope.
years of arson
The suspect would have been responsible for a series of fires in Müllendorf years ago. According to the indictment, he set fire to a paper container at a gas station, among other things.
“I wasn’t thinking about an explosion,” he noted at the hearing. The then 22-year-old had to pay a fine and compensation for, among other things, burned wood.
Walked to the crime scene
Now the series flared up again in Wulkaprodersdorf. A dozen fires are probably attributed to the father of the family. He would have walked to the crime scene on Saturday evening and set a fire there. The 31-year-old was arrested shortly before midnight.
Just before that in prison
The suspect was recently released. Arson was not the crime. The interrogation of the alleged perpetrator is in full swing.
