This is the horrifying moment a man’s wife allegedly flew into a jealous rage and set him on fire at a fish market she owns in Brazil.<\/p>\n
Andr\u00e9 Chapeta, 50, died on Friday less than a week after sustaining devastating burn injuries.<\/p>\n
The incident took place Monday at a store in Rio de Janeiro when Ana Mar\u00eda Paixa\u00f5 spotted Chapeta sitting at a table.<\/p>\n
A surveillance camera showed Paixa\u00f5 walking past the counter and appearing to open a bottle before dousing a flammable liquid over his body.<\/p>\n
The woman allegedly then flicked a lighter and set him on fire.<\/p>\n
