A 28-year-old man from Turin was arrested in Genoa following an arson incident in Pino Torinese. Authorities allege the suspect set fire to his family’s apartment following a heated argument with his parents.

The fire spread to an apartment below, causing a couple to suffer mild smoke inhalation. Both residents were treated at a hospital in Chieri and are reported to be in stable condition. The original apartment has been declared uninhabitable.

Following a search by the Carabinieri, the suspect—who was reportedly already known to law enforcement—was located by the Genoa Radiomobile unit in the Piazzale Kennedy area. He has been transferred to Marassi prison and faces charges of ‘strage’ (massacre), a charge involving acts capable of endangering public safety with homicidal intent.
