WEST HAVEN — Charges are pending against a West Haven man who allegedly dumped hot oil on his wife, severely burning her upper torso.
Mohammad Chaudhry was taken into custody early Wednesday shortly after the incident at his apartment at 195 Canton St., police said.
His 41-year-old wife was rushed to the Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital, police said.
The woman's teenage son called police at 4:40 a.m. to report that someone had just killed his mother. Responding officers noticed a strong odor of burning oil inside the apartment, police said.
The woman had severe burns to her upper torso, police said.
The couple's teenaged children told officers that their parents had separated in the past year, but their mother decided to sleep over Tuesday night to be with her children.
Police said Chaudhry entered the room where she was sleeping and threw hot oil on her before fleeing. The children heard their mother screaming and rushed to her aid, police said.
Officers found Chaudhry nearby and took him into custody.
