Brazil man dies after shocking video shows 'wife setting him on fire in the middle of a store before watching him run out in flames'

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

André Chapeta died Friday morning at a Rio de Janeiro hospital from burns he suffered after he was allegedly set on fire by his wife, Ana María Paixaõ

On Monday, the 50-year-old victim was sitting at a table inside the fish market Paixaõ doused him with flammable liquid and flicked a lighter

Paixaõ was taken to a police station Thursday morning, but was released later in the day because a judge had not approved an arrest warrant

Civil Police chief Flávio Ferreira told Brazilian news outlet G1 that he believes the incident was motivated by the woman's jealousy over her husband.

He told channel R7 that the couple's 30-year-old relationship was allegedly marked by bouts of domestic violence.

Paixaõ told investigators that she had been beaten prior to setting Chapeta on fire and reacted in self-defense, an allegation which they rejected.

'What she says is not what the image shows. The image shows the victim sitting in a chair. She arrives, coldly, throws the liquid and sets him on fire,' Ferreira said.

'She was not at that moment in a vulnerable situation, she was not in a situation in which she would be imminently attacked.

#3 The video at the link is odd, if you watch the long video it shows her douse him and light him. Then it cuts to outside and someone dumps a whole lot of liquid on someone and lights them. So is this two different incidents or did the guy get lit twice?

#4 Never mind, the second one is the dog poop story, they blended both videos for some reason.
