Just wanted a hot lunch

A Melbourne man was angry that his wife didn’t make his lunch one day.  So he did what any reasonable person would, and went and bought some, right?  No, he poured petrol on the staircase and set fire to the house, with his wife and 2 daughters inside.  Fortunately they were able to flee through the flames and received only minor burns.

Rajah Theivendradas, 54, was sentenced to 4 years jail for his lunch tantrum. The court heard that he had been drinking heavily on the day before the fire and had an argument with his elder daughter about respect.  Victorian County Court Judge John Nixon said Theivendradas was out of control but not psychiatrically disturbed.

  1. Oooh,A right and proper tanty.Surely by now the idiot would know how to open doors to the pantry and ‘fridge.

  2. Alright – that’s just craziness. I hope this woman is smart enough to never again let her or her kids near this man.

  3. I can get cranky too when I get hungry, but I try to limit my tantrums so I don’t have to serve jail time.
