Arguments between cohabiting partners can have quite serious consequences, as happened with a Kiev resident who was suspected of setting fire to a rival's car out of jealousy. According to investigators, the man set fire to his partner's car near the house of his ex-wife. As a result, the car was completely burned, and the perpetrator sustained burns to his hands and face. The man confessed to the crime, claiming that he could not allow his ex-wife to be with anyone else.
Qualification of the crime and its consequences
I could not allow myself to let her be with anyone else. That is why I set his car on fire, - the suspect admits.
The law enforcement officers qualified the actions of the man as intentional damage to someone else's property by arson according to the Criminal Code of Ukraine. For such a crime, imprisonment is stipulated for a period of three to ten years. This information was published on the website of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office.
The events that took place remind us of how important it is to be able to control our emotions and seek constructive ways out of difficult life situations to avoid serious consequences and consider the legality of our actions.
