Husband burnt alive as he tries to kill wife
By David Rogers
A 60-year-old man was burnt alive as he tried to kill his wife at their home in Feistritz an der Drau in Carinthia’s Villach-Land district today (Tues).
Police said the man had doused himself and petrol and then poured it around his house before shouting "I will burn all of you to a crisp" and setting the home ablaze.
The man was killed instantly as he was turned into a human torch but his wife and another man, whom police suspect she was having an affair with, escaped.
They were treated for smoke inhalation at Villach provincial hospital.

You know, I was in a writers slump and needed a scene to tie in to my main character and this story just broke the chain, comedy for real thanks for the story.

This is a sad situation and crime influenced by 'passion' and the unfaithfulness of his supposed wife and not merely a man getting what he deserved. Unless Ms Schroeder has more vital information that we are not privy to. Question then... Was he a local monster? Or was he a broken human being lost for the right thing to do? Regards,
