A 24-year-old woman has been sentenced in the Pirkanmaa District Court for starting a violent fire in an apartment building in Tampere’s Tammela district last September. The fire, which spread explosively, forced the evacuation of 43 residents and caused extensive damage. The court ruled on Friday that the woman was legally sane at the time of the act, meaning she understood the consequences of her actions.
