Puttur, July 9, 2013: A housewife from Kapinabagilu in Kaukrady village of Uppinangady is admitted to a hospital in Mangalore with critical burn injuries, after her husband allegedly set her on fire after pouring kerosene over her body. It is said that a trivial reason forced him to resort to this extreme step.
The police have arrested Bernard Monteiro, the husband who was cruel enough to set his wife Rosalyn (40) on fire.
The incident took place on July 7, Sunday when Bernard brought pork and insisted that his wife immediately prepared a pork dish. However, when he saw his wife not keen to obey his orders, he in a fit of anger poured kerosene over her and set her ablaze.
Uppinangady police are investigating the case.
