A bang for the buck in Graz: the suspect who allegedly set fire to a homeless man is at large again, according to information from "Krone". The crime could not be proven. And so the hunt for the fire phantom begins anew!

The case had caused consternation and horror far beyond the borders of Styria: on the night of March 23, a homeless man was set on fire in the middle of Lendplatz in Graz. The 52-year-old Hungarian had been sleeping in front of a Libro store when he suddenly burst into flames! Witnesses noticed the fire in the entrance area after midnight and also saw a man running away from the scene. An immediate search for him was initially unsuccessful.
