Doubts soon arose as to the origin of the fire. On-site investigations and eyewitness accounts led the police to conclude that it was indeed arson.
The suspected arsonist, a 26-year-old local resident, was apprehended and taken into custody as confirmed by the public prosecutor’s office. On the following day, the individual appeared before an examining magistrate and was subsequently remanded in custody.
The examining magistrate has ordered an expert evaluation to determine the precise causes and origins of the fire.
