INCENSED with her lover for wanting to leave her, a spa therapist went over to his flat and poured hot oil on his wife.

Goh Gek Hwee, 36, was jailed for three-and-a-half years on Tuesday. She was also fined $4,500 for hitting the victim with a frying pan.

A district court heard that Madam Chan Hoong Choo, 41, suffered burns to her face, scalp, trunk, arms and legs in the attack on April 18.
