In a statement, the Judiciary confirmed that the man, who sustained serious injuries in the shocking incident, would be questioned by the police to determine the motive behind his actions.
Detailing the man's activities leading up to the incident, the Judiciary revealed that he was believed to be protesting against delayed justice and had been armed with petrol, which he used to set himself on fire.
