As we’ve mentioned a few times, the deadly fires in Victoria, Australia, have caused unimaginable damage and death down under.
Police have just arrested a individual in connection with one of the many wildfires that spread killing over 180 people.
According to the cops, the man is suspected of lighting a fire last Saturday. In a statement,
Victoria state police say he has been “charged with arson causing death, intentionally or recklessly lighting a bush fire, and possessing child pornography.”
What a fucked up beast!
Two other men were arrested for “suspicious behavior” on Thursday, though they’ve since been released.
On a slightly positive note, the Country Fire Authority said the number of fires burning has decreased from 35 to 21 now, though “the threat will remain for weeks to come.”
However, the death count may increase to over 300 as many bodies have yet to be discovered. Police inspector Peter Sheppard said “Initially it was a fairly straitforward process — bodies were in cars, on sides of roads. Now, the search is through buildings. Many have collapsed.”
