AN enraged man set his wife on fire in the Philippines for refusing to have sex with him, police said.
Segundo Conchada, 40, also allegedly doused his two daughters ages two and three with gasoline and set them on fire before he was arrested by police in a coastal town in Quezon province, just south of the capital Manila.
Conchada allegedly went home before dawn and demanded that his wife, Norma Conchada, immediately have sex with him.
But the wife rejected the demand and Conchada went into a rage, dousing her and their two children with gasoline and torching them. The three victims sustained serious burn injuries, but were in stable condition, police said.
