Another person has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the arson attack in Nice, where seven people died, including several children, confirms the city's chief prosecutor. The arrest, which took place in the Paris suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, is the second. Already on Friday, the day after the fire, a person was arrested in connection with the fire.
It was the night of July 18 that a fire broke out in an apartment building in Les Moulins in Nice. When the rescue services arrived at the scene, the top floor of the building was ablaze. Four children, aged five, seven, ten, and 17, died in the fire.
The police announced early on that they suspected the fire was set intentionally and were looking for three people seen on a surveillance camera. Investigators have urged people to avoid speculation but are investigating whether the arson attack can be linked to "conflicts related to drug trafficking".
