The officer thinks that it could have ended much worse that day, because there were also explosives, such as Cobra’s, in his home. He himself estimated the risk lower because he was not busy with fire.
But that is not necessary, according to the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). “A small spark – caused by the discharge of clothing or the loosening of a lid, as explains the suspect – can be enough for that. The chance that a flash powder can arise and a fire can arise when mixing,” says a report.
According to the officer, the suspect could have known this: “The explosive power and the explosive danger of Cobras and flash powder is a fact of general fame.”
Major consequences for man himself
The man is also suspected of driving under the influence of amphetamine and GHB. The officer demands a total of eighteen months in prison with deduction from the time he is already in custody and a twelve -month -old driving denomination.
In addition, the officer takes into account the consequences that the explosion has had for the suspect himself. “The man himself was seriously injured, lost his pet and he has lost his house. […] But the fact remains that he has shown extremely dangerous behavior. “
