A Tushen man yesterday afternoon reportedly set himself alight in his house.
Ishmail Khan, 29, of 1620 Tuschen, West Bank Essequibo, took the drastic action yesterday afternoon after learning that his wife had moved out of the house with their two children.
His wife, Seena, reportedly took the children away after Khan had threatened her the afternoon before during a drunken bout.
Fire-fighters were unable to save much of the house after it went up in flames with Khan inside.
