A domestic brawl nearly turned deadly on Tuesday night when a man allegedly armed himself with a bottle of gasoline and attempted to set his wife on fire at Newtown, Kitty.
However, June McCalmon Jervis managed to escape out of a window and her husband reportedly opted to torch their Da Silva Street home and a neighbouring residence was also burnt as a result.
According to a police source, investigations so far suggest that the suspect’s actions were premeditated.
