Swastika-sporting MMA thug who doused wife in petrol and threatened to burn her gets JUST 3 years in prison
BUNBURY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA: A mixed martial artist will serve only three years in prison after he threatened to burn his wife alive while his children were in the house. The incident occurred last year when the cage fighter, who made headlines for sporting a huge Swastika-symbol tattoo on his chest, doused his wife in petrol when she refused to go to bed when he asked her to.
The incident occurred on October 26, 2021, when John Matthew Darch was about to set his wife on fire and potentially kill his children, aged one and three, in the process. The West Australian reports that the former couple was outside their house and drinking by the fire when Darch ordered his other half to go to bed, a request that she denied. Darch went on to kick her in the knee, then punch and slap her when she was down. The MMA fighter poured about five liters of petrol from a jerry can over his wife as she lay only meters away from the fire. The neighbors heard him yell 'piece of s**t' and 'crappy mother' to her wife. Even when Brooke rushed into the house where the children were, Darch followed her.
