A 48-year-old from the southern district of Munich is in court.

He is responsible or not responsible for a series of fires.

Because he suffers from a mental illness.

Wolfratshausen / Oberhaching - A short but violent series of fires in Wolfratshausen, Dietramszell, Egling and Oberhaching is currently being followed up in court. A 48-year-old from the southern district of Munich sits in the dock. He has schizophrenia. Presumably the mechanic was sick at the time of the crime. Therefore, he cannot be held criminally responsible. It's about his placement in a psychiatric ward. The man denies the allegations that are made against him.

In May 2020, it is said to have ignited four times within 48 hours. Thank God no one was hurt. But the property damage is immensely high at over 200,000 euros. The series of fires began in Dietramszell. There the man is said to have set fire to a number of tree trunks on the property, a wood chip plant. Two days later, burning garbage cans followed in Gelting, burning car batteries in Egling and finally, shortly before midnight, a barn in Oberbiberg. There the fire spread to the adjoining boys' club home. In this fire, the man was caught and arrested. His alleged victims were no strangers. One was a former boss, the others are neighbors and acquaintances. From the point of view of the accused, they are said to have forged a "murder plot" against him.However, the 48-year-old was unable to provide any evidence for this steep theory.

When asked by the judge, he provided incoherent information.

Accordingly, Munich rockers had threatened him with death.

He was released to be shot, they announced to him.

In addition, the defendant claims to have been in contact with the Federal Intelligence Service (BND).

The judges took note of his confused stuff without comment.

On the second day of the trial, witnesses reported how they had observed the outbreak of the fire in Neubiberg, how powerful flames had developed from a small little light in the distance and how they had immediately noticed a car that was standing deep in a dirt road.

The process is ongoing.
