“Earlier, acting for the same reasons, the defendant set fire to a car belonging to the relatives of an ex-girlfriend, which led to its complete destruction with the possibility of spreading to the entire building,” the report says.
The SP says the fires “were detected by neighbors and offended people at an early stage, which prevented them from spreading and causing more damage.”
