On Thursday afternoon, the 19-year-old and 27-year-old accused of arson that caused fires in the area of Sychaina were brought to the courts of Patras to appear before the competent prosecutor.

About an hour and a half later, the two arrested individuals left the courts accompanied by police officers, with the people present at the scene loudly booing them.

Previously, and after being indicted by the prosecutor, they requested and received a deadline from the investigator to make their statement next Sunday.

According to ERT, almost two hours after the arrival of the first two defendants, the third was brought to court shortly before 7 pm, in order to appear before the prosecutor's office to be prosecuted.

Earlier today, the 19-year-old allegedly claimed to the police that he was with a 27-year-old friend of his on a motorbike in the area of Sychaina. My friend got off the motorbike and set it on fire. He immediately set the scene ablaze and returned to the motorbike. We also met some citizens who asked us what we were doing there, the arrested person told the police.

Then, according to what he allegedly testified, he went to his house to hide. The motorcycle, according to information, was in the name of the arrested man's mother.

As for the 27-year-old who was brought in with the 19-year-old, the Police also proceeded to arrest him. According to information, the 27-year-old denies his participation in the arson case.

However, the police have in their possession video from security cameras in the area where the two people are recorded, with one of them also carrying a backpack. The backpack was located by the Authorities and matches and a lighter were found inside it, while a citizen located and handed over to the Authorities from that point a bottle of gasoline.

Finally, the 25-year-old, who was arrested yesterday afternoon in the Patras Nursing Home area, accused of arson, denies any involvement in the case.
