Her odd-job labourer husband, in a fit of rage, was seen allegedly setting fire to the house before fleeing from the village.<\/p>\n
State criminal investigation department chief Assistant Commissioner K. Manoharan said the police were in the midst of tracking down the 39-year-old suspect.<\/p>\n
He said the man’s 35-year-old wife, who worked as a shop assistant, was in a neighbour’s house when she saw the house ablaze.<\/p>\n
Manoharan said, with the help of neighbours and a team of fire and rescue department personnel, the woman tried in vain to douse the flames.<\/p>\n
The blaze destroyed the house, leaving the couple and their child, with just their clothes on the back.<\/p>\n
The police chief said initial investigations revealed that the couple were constantly squabbling over domestic issues.<\/p>\n
He said the suspect’s wife lodged a police report against the man yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the police have detained a woman in connection with the theft of a gold necklace during the two-day Jom Heboh carnival which began on Friday, in Dataran Syahbandar here.<\/p>\n
Kuala Terengganu police chief Assistant Commissioner Zamri Shamsuddin said said the 39-year-old suspect, from Penang, was alleged to have snatched the necklace from an eight-year-old girl.<\/p>\n
He said on-lookers caught the woman and handed her over to the police.<\/p>\n
