An alleged case of a husband burning his wife’s lover alive in the street has reportedly occurred in Jiangsu, China.
Viral videos online show a man on a pedestrian path repeatedly spraying gasoline onto a person already on fire using a homemade flamethrower, ultimately burning the victim to death.
According to online sources, the suspect was enraged by his wife’s infidelity and attacked her lover in public. As of the time of writing, police have not released an official statement on the incident.
According to the circulating video, a man dressed in a black jacket is seen at night on a pedestrian path next to a grassy area, holding a flamethrower made from a modified spray bottle. He repeatedly sprays gasoline onto a person—believed to be a man—who is already on fire, causing the flames on the victim’s body to intensify.
The victim did not cry for help and seemed to have lost consciousness, kneeling in the grass, while the man with the flamethrower periodically repressurized the fuel tank and continued to “refuel” the victim.
In the middle of the video, several police cars arrive at the scene. Officers can be seen draping a large black cloth over the victim’s badly charred body.
According to people claiming to know the situation online, the incident happened on February 2 in Jiangsu. The assailant was allegedly enraged by his wife’s infidelity, as she had left home for several months to live with her lover.
The suspect had previously confronted his wife and her lover with a knife to “demand an explanation,” but was reportedly beaten by them. He then built a homemade flamethrower to ambush his wife’s lover in the street.
One netizen claiming to be an eyewitness said the victim had once knelt and begged for mercy, offering to compensate the suspect with 500,000 yuan (about 283,800 MYR), but the suspect still went through with killing him by burning.
● Calmly Smoked a Cigarette After the Act and Waited for Police
The whole process was recorded by a bystander. According to witnesses, the suspect remained calm throughout, sat down and smoked a cigarette after making sure the victim was dead, and waited for the police to arrive, saying, “I’ve planned from the start to go down together.”
As of the time the videos were released, an official police statement confirming the incident is still pending.
