A Russian woman set fire to a house with her husband and his family inside

A resident of the Trans-Baikal Territory was sentenced to one year and four months of probation for setting fire to a house in which her cohabitant, his child and mother were. This was reported in the joint press center of the courts of the region.

As the court found, the cause of the incident was personal hostility. The woman doused the apartment building with kerosene and set it on fire when three people were inside.

The fire was noticed by a couple passing by. A man and a woman woke the people in the house and helped put out the fire.

The court imposed a suspended sentence of one year and eight months. The woman pleaded guilty and compensated for the damage.
