Erquelinnes: he tries to immolate his wife for a story of linen

Charleroi

Patrice sprinkled her with gasoline because she had thrown the laundry in the garbage.

It was a while since there was water in the gas between Patrice (53 years old) and his wife Carine. In recent months, this couple Erquelinnes multiplies the arguments. The fifties also said to have gone on vacation with a friend to ease tensions … Not sure that this trip had the desired effect.

Still, Carine came to complain to the police a few days ago. She explains that Patrice hit him on July 11th. And last Sunday, during a new fight, she decided to throw the dirty laundry in the trash. Her husband's reaction was immediate: he grabbed a can of gasoline and sprayed it.

Fortunately, Carine was far from any flame and Patrice did not have a lighter on hand. He was nonetheless arrested by the local police in the Lermes area and brought before the investigating judge on Tuesday. The applicant denied the blows to his wife but recognized the gas-jet, without any intention of homicide. However, he was charged with attempted murder, but was released under conditions … including that of no longer contacting his wife.
