Neighbours said that though the funeral rites of the father in-law had been concluded, Margaret was not happy with her husband’s decision not to attend it. Margaret who spoke on her hospital bed said: “We had a quarrel and he told me he would teach me a lesson.

After our disagreement,

I sat on the chair and he went inside, brought petrol and wanted to pour it on me. I held the jar and as we were dragging, I was shouting for help. He overpowered me and poured the contents on me and lit a match. I was saved by one of my neighbours who rushed into our apartment and put out the fire.” Onya is said to have been arrested.
