Riyadh - A Saudi man set his parents' house on fire, killing his 73-year-old father and severely injuring his mother, Saudi Arabia's al-Watan newspaper reported Tuesday.
The unemployed man was drunk when he released gas into his family's house in Tarut city in the country's east, the report added.
Initial investigations suggested that the son had deliberately burnt down the house, where two empty gas containers and an empty alcohol bottle were found.
