Husband who used white spirit to burn wife to death after 'trivial and absurd' row over his Christmas presents is jailed for eight years

A husband who killed his wife by pouring white spirit over her and setting her alight following a 'trivial and absurd' row over his Christmas presents has been jailed for eight years. Following the argument, out-of-work joiner Stephen Eastwood, 55, packed a holdall with clothes which his librarian wife Angela, 56, had given him for Christmas and threatened to stay with relatives. But after she snatched the bag back and emptied the clothes out, Eastwood went to the couple's garage in a rage and got a bottle of white spirit.
