GEORGE TOWN – Police are looking for a man who allegedly set his wife on fire following an argument at a house in an oil palm estate yesterday.
Police said they received information about 10.45pm yesterday about a man who had allegedly set his wife on fire.
The man had apparently used petrol.
When police arrived at the scene, they learnt that the victim had been taken to Kepala Batas Hospital.

Investigations are underway and police urge anyone with information to contact them.
The victim suffered second and third-degree burns on about 27% of her body.
