By Wan Yu-chen and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writer and CNASeven people died in a suspected arson attack on an apartment complex in Tainan’s Yujing District (玉井) early yesterday. Police are questioning a 21-year-old suspect surnamed Tseng (曾), after he called police claiming that he set the blaze. The family was living in the building to care for their daughter, who had a white blood cell disorder, police said. A man surnamed Chang (張) who manages Cian Bei Tang said that Hsieh Jui-lung later arranged privately for Tseng to move into the building. The building’s wood construction combined with the presence of numerous combustibles inside the building caused the fire to spread quickly, it said.
