Police received an alarm about the fire shortly after 7:30 a.m. Thursday and shortly afterwards launched an investigation into the fire. No one has been arrested.
Why do you suspect arson?
– I can’t answer that, but arson is an intentional crime, so the police at the scene suspect that someone deliberately caused the fire, says Ola Österling, press spokesman for the police.
There are several apartments in the house, but it should only have burned in the apartment where the man lived, at eight in the morning there was no risk of spreading to other houses.
– The rescue service has been there and has shut down and thrown, among other things, a sofa from the apartment. It appears to be the most devastated by fire, Österling says.
The apartment is cordoned off pending a forensic investigation.
– The rescue service has given us a preliminary statement on what may be the cause of the fire. So the fireplaces are a bit complicated because they are very hot. Our technicians can be on site in multiple rounds while it cools down. It may be a matter of 48 hours of waiting before we can fully work on the site.
At the moment, the police do not want to know if he has any suspects.
