Horrible act on Sunday morning in Styria: Presumably due to an argument with her partner, a drunken 35-year-old set fires in several places in the house they shared. And this despite the fact that four small children were sleeping there at the time of the crime.
Shocking details become known after the fire in Hartl near Stubenberg am See (Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district): Shortly after the “fire started” on Sunday morning, the investigation already pointed to foul play. Now it turned out: it was actually arson!
Four children in mortal danger
The resident’s partner had set fires in several places in the morning hours. Also in the man’s bedroom, where he slept with his four-year-old son. But not only was the boy in the house, three neighborhood children and friends of the little boy were also visiting the family at the time of the crime. But the woman didn’t seem to care at all as she turned on the accelerator in various places in the house.
Fortunately, the 31-year-old Styrian was woken up by the fire around 3:20 a.m. and was able to get everyone to safety. If he had not woken up, investigators are sure the whole case would have ended in tragedy.
Argument as a possible motive
The suspected arsonist, who according to the police was apparently drunk at the time of the crime and behaving very aggressively, has been transferred to the psychiatric department of LKH II Strandort Süd. The police have not yet been able to question her. The background to the terrible act may have been an argument with her partner.
