According to prosecutor Michal Król, the court granted his motion to take him into custody for two reasons. “Because the accused faces a heavy sentence, the first reason for detention is the fear of the accused escaping. The second is the fear of repeating the crime, or committing another violent crime, “public prosecutor Michal Król told reporters after the meeting.

Zdeněk K. He is accused of pouring petrol on the door of an apartment in Nerudova Street in Bohumín, where his son, his mother, his girlfriend and the accused grandson lived, on Saturday evening, pouring petrol on it and setting it on fire. The apartment was celebrating the birthday of his son’s girlfriend and there were 15 people, including three children. In the ensuing fire, six people burned, five did not survive the jump by the window.

The accused already confessed to the police on Saturday. As he himself suffered injuries and is burned, he will probably be placed in a detention center with a hospital, so probably in Prague in Pankrác – more info.

He is also aggravated by the fact that he already has four records from the past. “It is nothing more serious, there is a dangerous threat, but it already indicates that the person in question could be prone to aggression,” said prosecutor Michal Król.

Return to normal

The high-rise prefabricated house began to come to life on Tuesday. “During today, we want to completely connect the house to water, so that those who still live there have at least cold water,” said Deputy Mayor Bohumín Igor Bruzl on Tuesday morning.

He added that during tomorrow, the house should have electricity again and ideally an elevator. However, the gas connection will take a while. “About a third of the tenants live in the house all the time. And others want to come back, “said Bruzl.

The city provides alternative housing to four individuals, couples and one family, who are accommodated in a city guesthouse. They want to come back immediately as soon as possible. But there are also those who no longer want to live in the house – more info.
