Homeless man who torched Burnaby sushi restaurant twice 'wanted to teach somebody a lesson'

A homeless man who set fire to two Burnaby restaurants – one of them twice – was “frustrated” and “overwhelmed” and wanted to “teach somebody a lesson,” according to information presented at his sentencing hearing.

“If not for the sprinkler system, the restaurant could have sustained catastrophic damage,” Sebellin said.

“Why he went back the second time to Sushi Oyama is also concerning,” Sebellin said.

Combined, the three fires wreaked $571,234 in loss and damages, $10,000 of which Sushi Oyama had to pay out of pocket in the form of insurance deductibles, according to Sebellin.

He indicates he did not know how to cope with his circumstances and wanted to teach somebody a lesson
