Romanian woman burns herself in row with husband

A PREGNANT Romanian woman yesterday set herself alight with white spirit during a domestic argument with her Cypriot husband over his alleged extra- marital affairs.

Four-month pregnant Tinita Stan, 28, was rushed to Paphos hospital yesterday morning suffering second degree burns to her face, neck and hands.

“While at home with her husband, she doused herself with pure alcohol because she discovered he was having an extra-marital affair,” a Paphos police spokesman said.

The incident took place at about 10am yesterday morning, when Tinita confronted husband Minas Minaris with her “other woman” suspicions.

She is being treated at Paphos General hospital. Her condition is not life threatening, and neither is her baby at risk.

Paphos CID have ruled out foul play.
