Germany: Syrian asylum seeker tries to burn wife to death, ends up killing himself

(Ruedesheim) A 45-year-old Syrian asylum seeker, who was estranged from his wife, decided that if he couldn’t have her, nobody could, so he returned to the asylum centre she lived in along with their 3 children, poured lighter fuel all over her and lit a match. Unfortunately for the Syrian pyromaniac, he ended up killing himself when he breathed in the hot flames which engulfed his wife. The really bad news is, his wife suffered life threatening injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment at a specialist burns unit in Mainz. Along with his wife, 3 other asylum seekers received injuries from the fire which resulted in the centre being made uninhabitable.
