Lene-Voigt-Straße, 04288 Leipzig, Deutschland - On July 29, the process of the mysterious fires in the “Lange Lene” apartment block begins at the Leipzig district court. This complicated matter runs over several trial days to illuminate the allegations against a 40-year-old man who was living in this building when the fire lay in the basement. According to diesachsen.de , the accused has also been predicted, since he was convicted by another court in 2018.

The public prosecutor has charged charges for serious arson, dangerous bodily harm and property damage. These circumstances are particularly dramatic because a total of eleven residents of the house suffered smoke poisoning in two fires last year. That certainly gives great things, because the feeling of security in your own four walls is priceless.

According to Medienservice.sachsen.de this led to considerable economic damage, which the residents and the city is extremely stressed.

The situation illustrates the urgent need for comprehensive and uniform statistics on fire protection in Germany. Statistics on the cause of the fire, the number of fire injuries or deaths could actively contribute to improving the security standards. The district court in Leipzig has strictly concerned the investigation, and the upcoming process may be promoted to light, which can be important for both the legal aspects and for the prevention of future incidents.
