The Times of India (April 22, 2012)
WASHINGTON, An Indian-origin woman in the US set her husband on fire
and locked him in a bathroom, after promising him a hot oil massage,
police said.
Shriya Biman Patel,25, has been arrested on charges of first-degree
felony aggravated assault and arson and booked into the Travis County
Jail in Austin, Texas.
An Austin police statement said officers answering a family disturbance
call at a north Austin apartment on Monday night found a naked,
severely burned 29-year-old man screaming in pain on the floor, with
his wife nearby and a strong smell of gasoline in the air, the Daily
Mail website reported Friday.
Fire Captain Andy Reardon said the man was expecting his wife of one
year to massage him with oil but the oil turned out to be gasoline.
The man, whose name has not been released, was airlifted to Brooke Army
Medical Centre in San Antonio where he is said to be in a critical
condition, suffering from second and third-degree burns to 70 percent
of his body.
