According to media reports on October 2nd， a shocking incident of extreme domestic violence has occurred in Indonesia. A man allegedly set his wife on fire and killed her after she did not immediately respond to his request to cook noodles for him because she was playing on her phone.
Police identified the suspect as Andre. The incident reportedly began when Andre asked his wife to cook him noodles. His wife， who was engrossed in her phone at the time， did not respond promptly， leading to an argument between the couple.
Tragically， the dispute escalated to a deadly level. “After the incident， she (the wife) fled to her mother’s house， but the man pursued her there and set her on fire， causing her death，” a police spokesperson confirmed. The victim sustained severe burns all over her body and was pronounced dead at the scene. The case is currently under investigation.
This horrific act of arson， stemming from a domestic dispute， serves as a stark and tragic real-world manifestation of the idiom “anger makes you blind.” It profoundly highlights the devastating consequences that can arise from a complete loss of emotional control. Such incidents underscore the fragility of interpersonal relationships when communication breaks down and emotions overwhelm reason.
In any healthy marital relationship， mutual understanding， tolerance， and respect are paramount. Even when disagreements and conflicts arise， which are natural in any partnership， they should be addressed through calm and rational communication. Allowing emotions to spiral out of control， as seen in this case， can lead to irreversible tragedies， leaving behind shattered families and profound grief.
