Another Egyptian man burned to death his 28-year-old wife in the Matrieh area following an argument they had on Eid’s sweets, a report said Thursday.
According to a report published by the Arabic Al Bayan newspaper, a quarrel broke out between Manal Abdul Latif and her husband Rabei Al Adawi because he refused to buy the traditional Eid Al Fitr doughnuts.
Adawi lost his head in the heated argument and threw the Kerosene stove at his wife, setting her on fire.
She was rushed to hospital, but could not make it, said the report.
On Tuesday, a man who burned alive his eight-months pregnant wife after she refused to have an abortion was sentenced by a Cairo criminal court to life imprisonment.
Businessman Amr Abdel Rizak Fathallah demanded that his wife, Nagwa Nagy, have an abortion because he doubted the paternity of the child, a judicial source said.
During one of their quarrels she poured kerosene over herself and threatened to commit suicide, but instead of backing down from his demands he set her alight – Albawaba.com
