“I don’t know the guy before, he ran into my shop and said he was looking for someone who collected his charger. I told him that such a person was not in my shop. Out of anger, he took a bottle and started fighting me and I fought back.

I used the petrol I sell and poured on him. Honestly I didn’t know what I was doing until he started burning and people gathered. We were trying to put out the fire but it was already late because when they took him to hospital, he died there.”
