Woman Burns Husband To Death For Refusing To Share His Phone Password

An Indonesian woman has set her husband ablaze after he refused to give her the passcode to his mobile phone.

Daily Mail reports that the 26-year-old Dedi Purnama, had been working to repair the roof tiles on the couple’s home when his wife Ilham Cahyani, 25, asked for his password.

However, upon his refusal to share his secret code, the couple then got into a huge argument regarding the distrust, during which he hit her before she poured petrol on him and set him on fire.

It was gathered that she grabbed a petrol can and poured the flammable liquid over her husband before setting him aflame using a lighter.

Unfortunately, due to all the injuries he suffered, Mr Purnama died two days after the incident in the East Lombok Regency of the Indonesian Province of West Nusa Tenggara.

A witness identified as Oji told reporters he had run over to the couple’s house after spotting the flames and helped put them out.

Cahyani has been arrested and reportedly kept in custody at East Lombok Regional Police Station, although it is unclear if she has been charged.

Meanwhile, investigation is still ongoing to unravel the circumstance that led to his death.
