After arguing with husband, arsonist reported fire to police

A house in Altenmarkt, Austria, was set on fire early in the morning. Three fire departments were dispatched to control the blaze. The suspect, a 40-year-old man, reported the fire to the police and claimed he had set his husband’s home ablaze. He initially tried to flee but was later apprehended by police officers. The man was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident and only admitted to using a lighter to ignite flammable items during a second interrogation. Investigations confirmed arson, and the suspect was detained at a correctional facility. Fortunately, no one was injured, though the residence was completely destroyed. The exact damage cost has not yet been determined.
