Think I'll let Christopher Lee pass judgement on this man !

Burning to death has to be the worst way to die.  Poor lady.

Just when you think you've read all the horrific ways to pass, you then see this.

Burning your wife to death while she's incapacitated in her bed.

I hope she rests in a better place now.

Well,I think they're just going to burn her some more if you think that's a "better place"...?

What an evil man.

Hope a long time in jail for that.
