The said CCTV images came from a nearby gasolinera’s security footage. After purchasing these ‘items’ he went to his hotel in Fuengiroa, went to his room and allegedly set light to it.

The incident occurred on the 2nd of this month around 14.30h on the 12th floor in the Stella Maris. Witnesses reported dense spoke coming out of the building, clearly visible from the Paseo Marítimo. In short time, the flames had spread to an adjacent room. 

The local fire department, with the help of maintenance workers in the hotel, soon had the fire extinguished.

Fire department investigators established that an accelerant had been used: i.e., gasoline. Further police investigation centred itself upon the hotel guest and soon came up with the CCTV footage from the gasolinera.

He was arrested and charged with arson and putting in danger people’s lives.
