Man who set wife, child on fire to be indicted
Police announce the upcoming indictment of a man for attempted murder for allegedly setting his wife and their one-year-old child on fire last month in Bat Yam.
Police arrived to find the victim, a 29-year-old woman, lying on a street near her home, severely burned. She was taken by paramedics to a nearby hospital where she remains sedated and on a ventilator, with burns covering 90 percent of her body.
Police arrested the suspected, a 37-year-old man, at the scene of the crime, as he was holding the couple’s child who was soaked in flammable liquid. The baby suffered minor burns and was transferred to welfare authorities.
Police have requested that the suspect remain in custody until the end of legal proceedings.
