Father tried to burn family over late lunch

A MELBOURNE father who tried to burn down his house while his family was inside because his wife failed to make him lunch has been jailed for four years.

Rajah Theiveneraeas, 54, poured petrol on a staircase and set it alight. His wife Vasangha and daughters Amviga, 21, and Anoja, 16, were forced to flee through the flames.

They suffered superficial burns.

The court heard Theiveneraeas had been drinking heavily on the day before the fire and had an argument with his eldest daughter about respect.

Victorian County Court Judge John Nixon said Theiveneraeas was out of control but not psychiatrically disturbed.

"It was an inexcusable, senseless, destructive and dangerous criminal act on your part," he said.

Theiveneraeas must serve a minimum two years and three months in prison before being eligible for parole.
