Man denied sex, burns house

A MAN, 33, set fire to his wife’s house after she refused him sex. The accused was yelling and wearing only a towel, prompting the wife to leave with her children. The man then set the house on fire and threatened locals with his long knife. He later told police that he was angry as his wife rejected demands for sex. However, she said he was under the influence of narcotics. A urine test confirmed it.
