Suspect remains silent
Teenager (15) allegedly set fire to house
Was it a test of courage, or was it supposed to be "fun"? The suspected 15-year-old has not confessed and is also keeping quiet about his possible motive. The teenager is said to have set fire to an empty detached house in St. Marien (Upper Austria) in mid-May.
On May 12, there was a fire in a detached house in St. Marien that had been abandoned for years - more than two months later, it now seems clear why. According to the police, a local 15-year-old entered the building via an open window at around 7 p.m. and set fire to garbage in a room. He then reported the fire himself.
No confession, no injuries
The teenager has now been identified as the suspected arsonist on the basis of several witness statements. However, the 15-year-old has not confessed and is also keeping quiet about his motive. He will be reported to the Linz public prosecutor's office.
Incidentally, there were no injuries in the fire. Two fire departments were able to quickly locate the fire in the empty building and extinguish it using breathing apparatus.
