She told him to stop playing online games
Nelfince shared that out of frustration, the suspect took things to the extreme by grabbing kerosene and pouring it all over his wife.
This happened after she asked him to stop playing online mobile games and told him to go back to work as a ride-hailing driver. He then proceeded even further and set her on fire.
“The suspect then took a match and set his wife on fire. The victim suffered about 40% burns and is not yet able to give a statement,” Nelfince said.
