A horrific incident occurred in the Kashkadarya region, where a man, blinded by jealousy, committed a brutal crime against his wife. After years of suspicion and constant conflict, he decided to take revenge for her alleged infidelity by resorting to extreme violence – dousing her with gasoline and setting her on fire in front of their children.
How the Tragedy Unfolded
On April 22, 2024, Yusuf, intoxicated, returned home and overheard his wife talking on the phone. It seemed to him that she was discussing him with another man, which triggered a fit of rage. In a moment of fury, he grabbed a plastic bottle of gasoline, poured it on Gulshod, who was at home with their children and daughters-in-law, and set her on fire.
The tragedy unfolded right in front of their children and relatives. Their minor son and two daughters-in-law witnessed Yusuf commit this horrifying act of violence. Flames engulfed Gulshod’s body, and only due to the swift actions of her relatives, who managed to extinguish the fire, was her life saved. She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors provided her with qualified medical care, saving her life.
The Reasons Behind the Crime
According to Yusuf himself, his actions were driven by jealousy. He admitted that since 2014, he had suspected his wife of infidelity. These suspicions led to constant arguments and conflicts in their marriage. Yusuf had twice attempted to file for divorce through the court, but his claims were dismissed. Despite this, he continued living with his wife for the sake of their children, but his jealousy kept tormenting him.
On the day of the crime, while under the influence of alcohol, Yusuf overheard his wife’s phone conversation and believed she was talking about him with another man. This was the final straw, prompting him to “get revenge” by committing this cruel act.
Consequences and Punishment
Thanks to timely medical intervention, Gulshod survived, but she sustained serious burns. According to a medical examination, she suffered burns covering 35-38% of her body, including her face, neck, and chest. Her injuries were deemed life-threatening.
Yusuf was arrested and brought to trial. He fully admitted his guilt, expressing regret for his actions. Despite his remorse, the court found him guilty of committing the crime and sentenced him to 10 years in prison. He will serve his sentence in a general regime colony.
This tragic story serves as a stark reminder of how dangerous uncontrolled jealousy and domestic violence can be. The cruelty inflicted on his own wife has led to irreparable consequences not only for the victim but also for their children, who witnessed this horrifying incident.
