A match made in heaven

Women tend to get mad when their husbands do something insensitive, like forgetting their wedding anniversary. This poor bastard never made it that far:
A Chinese bride burned her new husband to death after he got into bed after a drunken argument without washing his feet, state media reported on Wednesday.

"Wang and his wife, Luo, were married on February 2. The couple, however, frequently fought over trivial things while still on their honeymoon," the official Xinhua news agency quoted a local newspaper as saying.

The couple, from the central province of Hubei, had another fight on the night of March 4, "and in frustration they together drank a bottle of liquor to ease their anger."
What a good idea! If only more fighting couples would just hit the bottle, I'm sure domestic violence rates would plummet.
"At about 10 p.m., Luo watched her husband get into bed without cleaning or washing his feet. In a fit of anger and intoxication, she set fire to the sheet he was sleeping in," the report said.
I guess that's one way to save on the cost of a divorce lawyer. But seeing as how she's been arrested, those savings may have to go toward her murder defense. Easy come, easy go.
