A riding stable in the Styrian district of Weiz was completely engulfed in flames on Sunday night. The 56-year-old tenant of the facility was seriously injured. He is now suspected of having started the fire himself! 

The firefighting work at a riding stable in Laßnitzthal (municipality of Gleisdorf) proved to be extremely difficult for the fire departments, and the residential building was also affected. The fire flared up again and again. The damage amounted to several hundred thousand euros. In addition, two people - the 56-year-old tenant of the facility and a 41-year-old woman - were injured.

Technical cause ruled out
As reported, the police were able to rule out a technical cause. It quickly became clear to the fire investigators from the State Office of Criminal Investigation: it was arson!

Suspect seriously injured in hospital, motive unclear
Now there is also a suspect. It is the tenant of the riding stable, who is currently in hospital with serious injuries. He was even temporarily in an artificial deep sleep.  

The police are still keeping a lid on the motive. However, it is fairly certain that the man was in a relationship with the slightly injured woman.
