A residential building in Xinzhou caught fire. After the suspect escaped, he was killed by a big truck. Who will pay for the loss?

Although the suspect has died, the losses caused by the suspect are inevitable. According to the laws of our country, the criminal responsibility of criminal suspects can be exempted from investigation, but corresponding civil compensation must be made. In other words, the suspect can avoid being sentenced, but still have to compensate for economic losses. Since the criminal suspect has died and caused losses due to the criminal suspect's behavior, his legal heir is responsible for compensation within the scope of inheritance.

On June 5438+February 2 1 day, 2020, an arson case occurred in Dongguan Town, Baode County. After the fire broke out, the local authorities rushed to put it out in time. However, five people were injured at the scene, which caused great losses to the property of residents in the residential building. According to police investigation, the cause of the fire was arson. If it is arson, it is a major criminal case, and the police offer a reward of100,000 yuan to catch the arsonist.

After a series of interviews and investigations by the police, the suspect Liu, 47, is from Goudita Village, Sunjiagou Township, Baode County. The suspect ran away immediately after the arson. He was killed by a big truck pulling coal, probably in the early hours of his escape. The public security organ has confirmed the death of the suspect and the case is under further investigation.

I don't know what the suspect hates, but he wants to set fire to a residential building. Killing and arson has always been a felony, and criminal suspects have also paid the price of their lives for their actions. Although the criminal suspect can be exempted from criminal punishment because of his death, he still has to pay part of the losses he brought to the residents from his inheritance. He died cleanly, but left a mess for his family. If he hadn't set fire, he wouldn't have run away in a hurry and been killed by a big truck in the chaos. No matter what hatred or resentment, there are legal weapons to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, and they must never do things that they regret because they vent their personal anger.
