The latest inquiries showed that the flames would have started outside the house.
In addition, Carabineros presumes that the subject who threw the Molotov cocktail did so due to a fight with an inhabitant of the property – 10 people lived in it, since it was subdivided by leases, according to neighbors -, who managed to escape the fire.
Uniformed police are conducting inquiries to identify the person who threw the Molotov cocktail. The institution also seeks to confirm whether it was a settling of accounts.
