A man in Thane, India was sentenced to life in prison for the 2015 murder of his wife after a minor domestic dispute. The court found Subhash Nivrutti Waghmare, 38, guilty of setting his wife Vaishali on fire during a night of intense anger. Prosecutors said the attack occurred on May 9, 2015 at their rented home in Ghodbunder Village.
After Vaishali refused to massage Waghmare's legs immediately, he became enraged when she asked him to wait. The next night, while Vaishali was resting on the bed, Waghmare poured kerosene over her and set her ablaze. She died from severe burns on May 13, 2015. The prosecution presented 10 witnesses to support their case, while the defense argued that Vaishali had faked her death due to ear and stomach pain.
However, the judge rejected this theory, finding her second account of events to be genuine and credible.
