Probably should say ‘alleged’ scumbag
You know what to do.
Any idea of a motive?
I'll go with "scumbag"...
Basically a nutcase by the looks of it - no deep motive. Just likes fire.
Give him a fair trial and then make an example of him in such a way that no one will think of doing something like this again — and make it public.
I suggest definite scumbag, alleged arsonist and murderer.
The child porn ought to be plenty to quality him as an SB.

Liked fire
A psudo fireman who wanted to be a hero by setting the fire and then putting it out.
Don’t forget that the moosies threatened to use fire in our forests as a weapon against us.
