Angry salary man sets apartment on fire

I’m probably not getting the details down on this story exactly right, however, I think this is what happened:
A 46 year old salary man came home drunk at about 3 AM. He was infuriated when he found his apartment door couldn’t be opened, as the door had been chain latched. He took out his cigarette lighter, lit the newspaper that had just been delivered, and threw it into the apartment.
The apartment caught fire. Inside was his 46 year old wife and 7 year old daughter. They did not wake up. After setting the apartment on fire, he went to the neighbors door and banged on it, shouting for help. They let him in, and via the veranda he went into his apartment, woke up his wife and daughter, and helped them escape the apartment via the veranda.
This happened on the third floor of a large four story concrete apartment building.
