The police explained the case yesterday, saying that the 89-year-old man surnamed Liu had lived in the flat where the fire broke out for more than 30 years.

The 53-year-old son of the deceased was sent to the hospital in a coma, and died after rescue. He also had a knife wound about 1 cm near the heart. He was found in the bathroom with his head down.
The police believe that only two people were in the unit at the time of the incident, and there was no evidence of a third person present. The doors and windows were locked and there was no sign of arguing.
The personnel found two cans of combustion accelerant at the scene, which were carried in iron cans.
It is understood that the father and son have lived in the unit where the crime occurred for about 30 years. Liu's father is a retiree. Due to his advanced age, he has been bedridden for a long time due to diabetes. The chronic stress of caring for an aging father culminates in tragedy.
