NEW HAVEN - New Haven police say a city man doused his wife and her two children with an accelerant and set fire to the woman, who suffered burns on up to 40 percent of her body.

Police say the children escaped harm before their apartment in the city's Fair Haven section went up in flames shortly after 7:30 a.m. Sunday. The woman, 35-year-old Christina Lee, is in critical condition at Bridgeport Hospital's burn unit.

Lee's husband, 50-year-old Howard Stewart, was arrested and held in lieu of $1 million bail. He is to be arraigned Monday on charges including first-degree arson, first-degree assault and attempted assault.

Witnesses say Lee's 12-year-old daughter rescued the 3-month-old daughter of Lee and Stewart by taking her out of a crib and fleeing the house.

at least the kids made it out okay..

What is it with people setting other people on fire lately?

How is that your thought process? What happened to "I'm gonna smack them around"? Instead people are going straight to setting people on effingfire. Like that 15 year old kid. Doesn't fight the kid he's mad at, he lights him on fire. That's so mind-blowing to me.

Hope this husband AND the kid that lit the other kid on fire get the maximum sentence.
