A
man committed suicide yesterday in Abia State by setting himself on
fire after butchering his wife.The man, identified only as Ejike, had a
misunderstanding with his wife so he used a machete to hack her in
Ezere, in the Isiukwuato local government area of Abia state.Locals
helped rescue Ejike's wife during the attack and they rushed her to the
hospital where her condition is really critical.Meanwhile, Ejike,
fearing that his wife may not survive the attack, went into his car
where there was a container of fuel, poured it on himself after a moment
of sitting there deep in thought, and set himself on fire with a
match.Efforts by passersby to douse the flames and rescue him were
unsuccessful.More photos below.
