New Year's Eve missile Leaves Drama: Bielefeld couple loses everything!

Bielefeld, Oldentruper Straße - on January 6, 2025 there was a devastating fire in an apartment, which was probably triggered by a New Year's rocket. The 24-year-old couple Lea Mengedoth and Louis Flato are affected, whose living space is now uninhabitable. According to reports, the fire brigade had received emergency calls shortly before 1 a.m.

The rocket landed on the couple's balcony and set fire to the apartment. A first assessment indicates that numerous personal objects, including the complete gaming equipment of the couple, can probably no longer be saved. The Bielefeld police have started the investigation into negligent arson.

Current Situation of those affected

The condition of the apartment forces the couple to temporarily live with Louis' grandmother. The first repairs are scheduled for Monday after the fire. Since the couple does not have any household insurance, they have initiated a fundraising campaign to receive support. By Monday afternoon, over 5,000 euros had already been raised in donations.

Lea Mengedoth expressed that the situation was overwhelming and fast -paced. The report on the incident is carried out by WDR television and the local time East Westphalia-Lippe at 7.30 p.m.

In the course of the investigation into negligent arson, the police will use various methods to reconstruct the course. These include the evaluation of testimony and the technical investigation of pyrotechnics residues, as well as on Rechtsanwalt-Scharmann.de
