A man from Kemi tried to burn his ex-spouse and one-year-old child alive in Ylitornio
A Kemi man is accused of several crimes against his ex-spouse. Last August, a man is suspected of setting fire to a house containing two adults and one child.
On Monday morning, the Lapland District Court in Kemi began to deal with a shocking story of a Kem man being charged with various degrees of crime against his ex-spouse.
The accused man arrived for a court hearing from prison. He has been isolated from the parties to the courtroom loft. He covered his face during the shooting.
The last offense was committed by the accused in August 2019. According to the prosecutor, the man entered a one-and-a-half-story house in Raanujärventi by breaking a window through the balcony. The man's ex-spouse, his sister and the couple's one-year-old child were present at the house.
According to the indictment, the accused began to distribute the motor gas he brought to the floor upstairs. The ex-spouse hid with the one-year-old child in the upstairs bathroom. As he escaped from the bathroom carrying a child, the man followed with a sharpener.
Ex-spouse's sister was stopped by a passing car. The women and the child escaped.
The accused man left the scene after igniting a fire. Police caught him on the edge of a field where he was setting fire to a car stolen.
area Prosecutor Pia Raappana-Grönvall has been indicted on two counts of attempted murder, aggravated violation of domestic peace, damage and threatening a person heard in court. There are a total of 15 charges.
According to the descriptions, the man continued to threaten his ex-spouse and witnesses while he was still in prison. He sent text messages from Niuvanniemi Hospital in which he threatened retaliation, use of violence and killing if witnesses did not change their stories.
The accused chemist admits some of the charges but denies, for example, the attempted crime. He says he thought the house was empty at the time of the fire.
The man has previously been indicted in the Lapland District Court for multiple rape, assault, identity theft, burglary, imprisonment, smuggling and possession of a child sexually abusive image.
The victim was a former spouse of the man. According to the charges, the man tortured him in many ways for a couple of years. He is suspected of, inter alia, portraying his ex-spouse naked and in low-dress, unauthorized sexually explicit sex, kicking and punching, even when his spouse was pregnant.
The man is also suspected of raping his ex-spouse several times.
However, in May 2019, the man was released on free foot awaiting the results of a mental examination. The Ylitornio fire occurred in August. The previous case will continue to be heard in the District Court in March.
