The neighborhood was on December 10th at five o'clock at night startled by a loud bang, followed by a fire in the apartment house. The facade was blown out. Adjacent houses and parked cars were damaged. Local residents had their homes in the middle of the night out.

The 53-year-old resident would put the next morning from his house, because he refused to pay rent increases. Two hours before the explosion he had the night leaving his home to go to sleep at a friend.

The man against whom it is required five years' imprisonment, continued to deny that he is responsible for the explosion. The court, however, that there is sufficient evidence against him.
