Brazil: Man set ablaze In row over dog droppings<\/h3>\n

A man tragically died after his wife allegedly set him on fire in a fit of jealousy at their fish market in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Andre Chapeta, 50, passed away less than a week after suffering severe burn injuries.<\/p>\n

The shocking incident occurred at their store in Rio de Janeiro when Ana Maria Paixao reportedly saw Chapeta sitting at a table.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CCTV\u00a0footage appears to show Paixao walking past the counter before opening a bottle, pouring a flammable liquid over him and setting him alight.<\/p>\n

Chapeta ran into the stock room of the fish market, engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He was rushed to Getulio Vargas Hospital, where he received treatment for burns covering\u00a092 percent of his body, but succumbed to his injuries on Friday.<\/p>\n

Paixao was arrested by police on Thursday morning but was released\u00a0overnight\u00a0after a judge failed to sign off an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

Civil Police Chief Flavio Ferreira believes the incident was driven by Paixao’s jealousy over her husband.<\/p>\n

He told\u00a0channel\u00a0R7 that the couple’s 30-year relationship was allegedly marked by episodes of domestic violence.<\/p>\n

Paixao told investigators that she had been beaten prior to setting Chapeta on fire and claimed she acted in self-defence, an allegation which they dismissed.<\/p>\n

Ferreira stated:\u00a0“What she says is not what the image shows. The image shows the victim sitting in a chair. She arrives, coldly, throws the liquid and sets him on fire.<\/p>\n

“She was not at that moment in a vulnerable situation, she was not in a situation in which she would be imminently attacked.<\/p>\n

“On the contrary, as I said, he was sitting and posed no risk to her physical integrity at that moment.”<\/p>\n
