A quarter of a year after the Bohumín tragedy: scaffolding around the house, with an indictment

These are mainly assessments from the fields of fire protection and psychiatry. This was exactly what the supervising public prosecutor Michal Król said. “Therefore, a possible indictment will most likely not be filed by the end of the year,” the prosecutor told Práva.

So far, the investigators have at their disposal only those expert conclusions concerning the identification of the deceased, or the results of the autopsies.

The psychiatric assessment of the perpetrator is not yet complete, but according to Król, there is no indication that he could be declared insane. “At the moment, the accused should already be physically examined by experts in the field of health care, but so far I do not have any preliminary conclusions. I don’t even have an expert opinion on fire protection yet, which should give a clear answer to how the fire spread in the apartment, “said the public prosecutor.

In the case of fires, this report is usually the last in the order, because it often takes into account other findings from the investigation. In this case, he should answer the question of why the fire in the apartment spread so massively that it quickly engulfed all his rooms. The arsonist told the police that he spilled gasoline at the entrance to the apartment.

“The accused himself talks about the canister, but we are also interested in how the fire spread, whether the equipment of the apartment also contributed to the spread of the fire, or whether there was any other combustibles,” he said.

The fire on the eleventh floor of a block of flats in Bohumín broke out on Saturday, August 8, and claimed 11 victims. Shortly after the fire, the police detained Zdeněk K., 55, who confessed to starting the fire.

In Bohumín, they are now finishing repairs of flats that were damaged after the fire. “These days, the repair of the facade and loggia of the apartment where it was burning is beginning. We will not offer this apartment for rent yet due to the event that took place there. We have agreed on that before, “Lucie Balcarová, a spokeswoman for Bohumín City Hall, told Práva.
