The initial investigation already revealed that it was not an accident, but an intentional crime. The victim’s partner was captured on several CCTV cameras leaving the scene shortly after the fire broke out. Furthermore, her body showed signs of violence, and blood traces were found at the scene.
Although the trial has not yet taken place, the most likely investigative version is that an argument occurred between the partners. He failed to suppress his emotions and killed her. In an attempt to cover his tracks, he then set fire to the entire house where they lived together and fled the scene.
