Woman was pregnant – 29-year-old set fire to his girlfriend’s house

Date:

Early Saturday morning, something incredible happened in Deutschfeistritz: A 29-year-old from Yemen allegedly set fire to the house where his pregnant partner, her minor daughter and a few-month-old baby were. But it wasn’t the first attack on his family…

It was around 5.30am on the national holiday when walkers on their morning walk noticed clouds of smoke coming from a neighboring residential building. 16 emergency services from the Deutschfeistritz volunteer fire brigade rushed to the scene with three vehicles and were just able to prevent a major fire. But one thing was extremely strange: there were not just one, but several burns in the house.

Endanger three children
During the initial investigations by the Frohnleiten police patrol, the suspicion quickly arose that the fire must have been started by the 29-year-old Yemeni resident. An incredible act, considering his pregnant girlfriend and her small children were home at the time. The 35-year-old, her minor daughter and her few-month-old baby were able to escape unscathed thanks to great luck.

Slightly injured with knife
The 29-year-old was immediately arrested. At the same time, the fire investigators began their investigation – during the forensic examination, several fire spots were reliably identified. Police learned that the alleged arsonist had an “on-off relationship” with his partner and had aggressively threatened to kill her several times. He even allegedly used a knife and injured the minor daughter.

The 29-year-old is in custody
But so far he has remained silent about all allegations. An entry and approach ban and a weapons ban were issued against him. The 29-year-old is now in custody in Graz-Jakomini prison until further notice, on the orders of the Graz Public Prosecutor’s Office.
