Five-year-old apparently causes fire in asylum accommodation in Bavaria. One person died and others were injured.

Initial investigations indicated that the boy was playing with a lighter at the facility on Sunday. The furnishings of the apartment caught fire and the fire spread to other apartments in Nördlingen, Swabia. The man lived in the house next door and, according to initial findings, was not in the property. It is therefore conceivable that his death had no direct connection to the fire.
