CAGAYAN DE ORO – A man burned down his own house after his partner refused to have sex with him.

The live-in partner, who is five months pregnant, said she and the suspect, 28-year-old Aminodin Macadaag, had a falling out yesterday after he refused to get rice from his grandmother.

Because of this, she refused to sleep with him.

She was fleeing their house when she saw Macadaag with a knife in his hand. She became more afraid when he threatened to burn their house so she left the area.

When she came home at 1 a.m. today, their house was in ashes.

She will stay with a relative, in the meantime.

Authorities are already looking for Macadaag. –report from Shiela Labrador, ABS-CBN News Northern Mindanao
