Canadian Heavy Metal Fan Pleads Guilty To Setting Church Fires

January 11, 2008

According to Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada's Source, a 17-year-old Thunder Bay youth will return to court next month for sentencing after pleading to guilty to charges related to a bizarre arson case.

The young man was apprehended on October 14 after breaking into and setting fires at two Balmoral Street churches. Evidence heard in the case indicates the youth had been influenced by listening to heavy metal music and had learned to make the napalm used to set the fires on the Internet.

Damage to one of the churches was estimated at about $100,000 while the repair bill at the other was about $12,000. The accused was convicted Friday on two counts each of break-and-enter and arson. He'll be sentenced on February 20.
