US: Jordanian sentenced for setting wife on fire

A 41-year-old Palatka man who doused his first wife with lighter fluid and set her on fire two years ago faces life in prison when he is sentenced in August.

Khalid Abeljawwad Mohd was found guilty Tuesday of various charges related to the attack on Rema Jamel in March 27, 2010 after she asked him to help extend her visa.

“Mohd told her he would not help her and that he intended to bring his second wife from Jordan, where it is legal to have multiple wives, to live in Palatka,” the State Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
