Michigan Man Kills Wife, Sets Fire to Himself

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) -- A man killed his wife and set himself on fire in front of his three children, police said.

Baljinderjit Singh, 53, died Sunday morning before emergency responders arrived at the house in Sterling Heights.

``He stumbled into the kitchen, himself on fire, and said, 'I just killed Mom,''' Sterling Heights Police Sgt. Dale Dwojakowski told the Detroit Free Press.

Dwojakowski said the children tried to put out the flames, but couldn't. They fled to a neighbor's house and called 911.

Amrik Singh, 53, was found in the basement, police said. Her husband was discovered in the kitchen.

Police said it was unclear whether the fire killed the couple or whether they died before the blaze ripped through the off-white, split-level home. Autopsies were planned for Monday.
