The 44-year-old victim’s partner did not respond to her numerous requests to move out of the house. The woman then left alone and told her former lover about it. The man did not appreciate such an act and decided to take revenge. He doused his partner’s house with kerosene and set it on fire. The damage caused by the incident was estimated at 4 million rubles.
“A criminal case has been initiated against the man for a crime under Part 2 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The sanction of the article provides for a prison sentence of up to five years,” he said, according to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Penza region.
The arsonist has already confessed.
