After the terrible incident last weekend in which a homeless man was set on fire and suffered serious burns, the 65-year-old suspect has now been remanded in custody. He remained silent during the first interviews. Was it really ‘an accident’?
Following a fire on Saturday evening at Lendplatz in Graz, in which a homeless man suffered serious burns, the suspect, a 65-year-old Russian, has now been taken into custody in Graz-Jakomini prison. The victim, a 52-year-old Hungarian, is still in the intensive care unit of the LKH University Hospital Graz and will probably undergo another operation in the coming days.
20 to 25 percent of the skin burned
The Russian remained silent during the mandatory interrogation by the magistrate, Christian Kroschl, spokesman for the Graz public prosecutor’s office, said on Tuesday. The suspect could be responsible for the 52-year-old homeless man catching fire on Saturday evening. Both men have no permanent address. During an initial interview, the 65-year-old stated that he had started one fire but did not notice the other. The Hungarian suffered serious burns: 20 to 25 percent of his skin was affected by third-degree burns.
