That is the result of infidelity. The wife might have an illicit affair with that man said to be his brother-in-law. It might not be true that they are siblings for they slept together. He was not able to control his anger.

My God what kind of news is this, the rate of evil these days is something else. Like how do they even have the mind to do this kind of things.

People are just delivish and I wonder how they sleep at night . You do all sorts to people

It’s possible that the husband acted out of jealousy or infidelity. However, it is never acceptable to murder someone, regardless of the reasons behind it. I hope he suffers the consequences of his actions and spends the rest of his life in jail for what he did to his wife and brother-in-law.

Seeing two people sleeping together means something. How could they be set to fire when their actions are scandalous. These two might not be related in blood.

Mate, they might still be related. Some people don't mind sleeping on the same bed with their relatives provided no incest is going on

I have not heard here in my place siblings male and female sleep together in one bed, so what is the reason then, why they were set on fire? It would be too cruel killing them without a valid reason.

Well, we don't really mind here provided it is just about sleeping only nothing abominable happening at all.

The killer might have not recognize the victim as his brother in-law. He just right away concluded that they are doing a malicious thing. He should have not acted impulsively. The prize of his being impulsive is staying behind bars until the end of his life. He committed two crimes, murder and arson.

 

[Augusta]

Yeah that's might have been the case. But killing another no matter the case is totally wrong

 

[Starmix]

The husband was unreasonable. The victims were in deep sleep for they failed to smell the odor of the petrol. They also failed to feel the intermittent fire. If they only.... they might have been able to escape death.

 

[Augusta]

Sure the husband committed a big crime for killing no matter the provocation. He would have just walked away

Humans are sensitive. They seldom sense and use their minds reasonably. They only listen to their urge to kill to satisfy their anger. Once they cool down, it is already late the damage has been done, irreparable.

This is why it is always stated that anger is a little time of madness. People do very terrible things when they are angry

 

[bluesky]

It is very cruel and barbaric. At the height of anger or jealousy, they committ such heinous crimes.

That is true, and they realize it late. It should be better to count 1-100 to cool down before acting impulsively which may result to killing.

 

[Augusta]

It is totally done in bad faith. No matter the crime they committed he would have sorted things amicably

Similar incident happened in Anambra state last three months where a man set his wife ablaze because of infidelity. No matter what, it is absolutely wrong to kill human being for whatever reason. It is very disheartening.
