According to the chairman of the senate, Tomáš Mahr, the tragic consequences were not only due to the presence of the victim, who managed to partially liquidate the fire on his own until the firefighters arrived.

“If she did not succeed, she could turn out much worse. On the one hand, there was a risk of suffocation from the accumulated toxic smoke, and of course there was a real possibility of a fire spreading, which could have fatal consequences, “Mahr warned.

In the case of the accused recidivist, who has 19 criminal records, the court only took into account that the conduct remained in the trial phase and that he had not been convicted of such conduct in the past.

The incident took place on August 17 around two o’clock in the afternoon in Matěje Kopeckého Street on the outskirts of the city. At that time, Gábora was let into the apartment by the victim herself. “He locked himself in the living room with her. Then he opened a can of thinner with which he poured the equipment of the room, and with the words that they would burn together here, he cut off the lighter, “the plaintiff described what was happening in the apartment, which the court considers proven.

Her sweatpants were on fire
When the apartment was covered with thick smoke, which made it difficult for both of them to breathe and orient themselves, Gábor unlocked it and ran away from the apartment. At that moment, the entire sofa was already on fire, and the woman’s sweatpants were burning.

“She managed to get her clothes off. Then she tried to throw the burning blanket and pillows on the balcony, while some of these things fell on the balcony of the apartment one floor below, where he caught a packet of polystyrene boards, “the prosecutor described the dramatic moments.

The woman managed to walk to the kitchen, where she filled a bucket with water and tried to put out the individual fires.

“With regard to the conduct of the attack and the use of a highly flammable substance, the accused had to understand that the victim could cause extensive burns or severe or fatal poisoning by toxic fumes that infested the apartment during the fire,” the plaintiff stated.

The first to rush to a woman was her brother, who lives nearby. “My sister called me to say that David poured something on the apartment and set it on fire. She was very upset. She said she had burns on her hands and burned sweatpants. When I ran there, smoke rolled from my nurse’s apartment and I could smell the thinner, “said the witness.

One of the neighbors had already called the emergency line. “I heard screams and then saw flames and smoke. Then the woman threw burning things from the balcony, “the woman said and handed the video to the police, which she shot on a mobile phone. There are visible flames on the balcony, smoke coming from the apartment and a quarrel between a man and a woman.

According to the victim, her ex-partner probably didn’t realize what she was doing at the time. “He came completely out of my mind,” she said at the interrogation. She described their cohabitation as being repeatedly verbally and physically attacked by a man. In several cases, the police had to evict him from the apartment.

The defendant did not testify in court. He confessed to the police after his arrest. But later he began to claim that the woman had set fire to the apartment herself to avenge him. “She said that she would arrange a murder attempt for me and that I would rot in the crime scene,” Gábor said during the interrogation trial.
