From correspondents in Tehran
October 11, 2004
AN Iranian woman killed herself by setting herself on fire after her husband rejected her repeated demands for a colour television set, Kayhan newspaper reported today.
The report, quoting the head of a hospital in the western city of Khoramabad, said the 27-year-old woman died from burns that were apparently self-inflicted.
It said her husband, who worked as a labourer, was too poor to afford a $US115 ($156) colour television.
Contacted by AFP, local police confirmed a woman had died of burns but refused to speculate on the cause of death.
