Two Years in Jail
The man accused of setting five cars on fire in San Antonio
could face two years in jail after the initial hearing.
The incident occurred last August at the crossing of the Cala Gracio road.
The accused, 'D.C.V.', set fire to the first car, believing it belonged to his mother's ex-boyfriend, after the man had been found not guilty of beating his [the accused's] mother. It turned out that the accused in fact set fire to the wrong car, a Fiat Uno, when in fact the ex-boyfriend owned a Seat Panda.
Bizarrely it was also revealed that a policeman had seen the boy earlier in the day buying some petrol, and when the officer asked him what he wanted it for the boy had replied that it was to burn a car. The policeman did not take any notice of the boy's comments but later alerted authorities to the meeting after he heard about the episode. The fire quickly got out of control and four other cars caught fire. There were no injuries.
