An unnamed name has confessed to lighting fires in different parts of Messinia in the southwestern Peloponnese and was remanded in custody on Monday.
The 30-year-old man, a resident of the area, has allegedly confessed to deliberately setting several fires – some highly destructive – and was questioned last week by Fire Service investigators and arrested over the weekend in connection with a blaze in the village of Iamia last Wednesday.
He reportedly went on to confess to setting another fire the day before, which burned 3 hectares of land, as well as a blaze in Chrysokellaria in June last year that razed 250 hectares of mostly farmland and a big fire in Vasilitsi in 2021 that destroyed 400 hectares, as well as 22 houses and farms.
The suspect did not appear to provide a motive for his actions.
