Suspect[edit]

Does anyone have the name of the suspect? The name would be a good addition to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fulmard (talk • contribs) 19:04, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fulmard: I think this helps.^[1] Severe storm 28 19:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's an older piece, from the day of the fire, and it doesn't have the suspect's name. It isn't sure if the suspect died, later pieces say the suspect is hospitalised but I can't find the name yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fulmard (talk • contribs) 19:26, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fulmard: Maybe this?^[2] Severe storm 28 20:51, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
