When he entered the kitchen, the husband turned on the light to get a better look but an explosion occurred that killed the man on the spot.

The explosion also sent his wife to the ICU. and the baby who was some distance away from the explosion was rescued. Kitchen utensils were thrown more than 200 m from the explosion site.
