Arson suspect trying to deflect guilt

The only suspect in last March’s fatal fire in Old Montreal is trying to deflect guilt onto some other unnamed person. Denis Bégin is a career criminal known to be a manipulator, as recounted here by La Presse’s crime reporters.

But if Bégin saw the fire being lit, what was he doing there and why didn’t he report it? It seems from the tone of their account that Renaud and Larouche don’t believe the story any more than the police do.
