Man Burns Down House Because Wife Didn't Have Dinner ReadyUpdated: 9:26 PM May 24, 2010
SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police in Kanawha County say it's unlike any case of domestic violence they've ever seen. Sun. night, Beverly Jones says her husband of 7 years returned home from a night of drinking with friends. Beverly says her husband, Guy, became upset that his dinner wasn't ready and on the table. "He started throwing furniture and tore up all the glass tables," Beverly Jones said. "Then he told me I had to get out because he was going to burn the house down. He told me if I didn't get out he would burn me with the house."
Guy followed through with his threat, and a short while later, the Jones' home of 10 years was gone. The whole ordeal has left Beverly and her friends wondering why.
"Why would you burn your own things," Beverly Jones said. "If he didn't want to be with me, all he had to do is say 'I don't want to be with you.'"
For Beverly's best friend, Lana Taylor, seeing everything her friend had ever worked for go up in flames is almost too much. She says the fact it was all over Guy's dinner not being ready makes her even more furious.
"Why," Taylor said. "Why did he feel he had to burn down the house. Why was that so important? Its not like he can't cook. He can cook."
In the end, Beverly says her husband not only destroyed their home, but also their marriage.
"We're headed for divorce court just as fast as I can get there," Beverly Jones said. "I hope I don't see him again."
Wow i cant believe someone would actually go to such an extreme as tu burn their house down. What got me upset about this case was that the male felt entitled to burn down not only his belongings but the women's too.To him everything was his he didnt even take into consideration his wife. That guy should go to jail
ReplyDeleteI feel there is more to the story than a guy burning down a house for a missed dinner, since that is a very extreme reason to burn down the property you lived in for 10 years. Funny enough the thing that interest me was the tearing of the glass tables. Can you really tear up a GLASS TABLE!
