Prisoner Lights His Bed On Fire

A 24-year-old resident of Yoshkar-Ola detained for robbery burned his criminal case during familiarization in a remand prison, the regional administration of the TFR reports. The incident hit the lens of a surveillance camera.



A small fire in the SIZO happened on October 18, 2018, when the recidivist - and the young man was convicted several times - got acquainted with the materials of the criminal case. The footage shows how the suspect quietly pulls out and sets fire to the sheets in front of the investigator. By the time the warden stopped him, the attacker had destroyed most of the evidence - and accused him of robbery.



The case of the Pyromanus was submitted to the court, for interfering with the activities of the investigator in order to prevent a comprehensive, full and objective investigation, he faces up to six months in the colony. About the investigation of the destroyed case is not reported
