A man who has been nabbed in connection with a fire at the St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town faces an arson charge.
Police said that the 40-year-old suspect was arrested after surveillance cameras of a hospitality establishment in the area captured footage of a possible suspect who’d been spotted close to the crime scene.
The fire broke out at the cathedral’s basement in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The police’s Andre Traut said that the suspect was due to make a first court appearance on Tuesday.
“He was arrested on a charge of arson and is expected to make his court appearance in Cape Town. The motive for the arson is yet to be established,” Traut said.
