Police said the woman identified as Malar, 45, of Anaikundram village near Madurantakam, retaliated after she was repeatedly harassed since her marriage. After her husband Kanniappan beat her up and slept in a field in front of their house, Malar brought kerosene, poured it on him and torched him. Kanniappan realised that he was burning as he woke up from sleep. However, the fire engulfed him completely. Even as he cried out for Malar to help him, she stayed away. Only after he was fully burnt, she ventured out of the house but proceeded directly to the police station and gave herself up. Soon, a team rushed to the spot and found the man lying dead. They sent his body to the government hospital in Chengalpet for autopsy. Orathi police registered a murder case and arrested the woman. Police seized the kerosene can from her house and lifted fingerprints from it to verify if she poured the fuel on her husband. Malar was produced before a magistrate court in Chengalpet and sent to prison.
