The 50-year-old from Villasor ended up in a cell in Uta who was tracked down and arrested by the carabinieri in Cagliari.

The man had entered the house of his ex-wife - who was absent at the time - and started a fire, and finally fled. The military located him in his elderly mother's home in the Sardinian capital.

The arrest was validated during this morning's hearing.

The building suffered extensive damage and was declared unfit for use by the fire brigade.
