Witness statements provided to the police confirmed that the man had a large knife and a bag full of objects. He warned one of the residents that if his ex-partner didn’t leave, he would set the house on fire with all the occupants inside. The occupants then saw him throw a bottle that hit the wall, triggering an explosion. He then threw a second bottle, which spread the flames further.

With the fire department’s help, the police confirmed the bottles contained gasoline and a wick – they were ‘Molotov cocktails’. Subsequently, they arrested the man for attempted murder using an incendiary device.
