Bonn / Reichshof - The gardener, who lit his house and wanted to see the neighbors burn>: Anthony G. (51) must be four years behind bars for arson and a drug rehabilitation center. The court, however, refrained from a conviction for attempted murder.
Anton G. had on that 24th April gebechert vigorously, then plugged in its urban shelter paper and branches. Prior to his house, he made himself comfortable on his newly-bought TV. And from there he observed, laughing and grinning, as thick smoke poured from the front door.
"His motive was the dismal living conditions. The neglect he has caused himself." Udo Buhren, Presiding Judge of the court, brought in the verdict on the considerations of the chamber to drop the charge of attempted murder, to the point.
Not be excluded is that Anton G. trained only after the Zündeln the wish for the hated neighbor might burn. The fire department was able to prevent the spread of fire. The house of the neighbors, with which G. is at loggerheads for years, remained intact.
Anton G. has collected 24 previous convictions. The majority of the crimes of the native Austrian's have to do with his alcoholism. In 1998, he had already cashed jail for arson.
Even when he had infected his shelter. Judge Buhren: "When he was told the welfare office, he only get a new apartment, if the house burns down, he stuck it to standing still."
