Arson suspect turns himself in

Two men in their 20s are being held in police custody for four weeks.

One is charged with setting a house in Stykkið on fire, and the other is charged with car theft and assault.

The house arson suspect is also charged with setting a car on fire in Tórshavn. He turned himself in to the police saying he had set the house on fire, but he denies the second charge.

Police investigations are ongoing.
