A Geelong woman has been charged with murder and will face court today after her husband died from severe burns.

Paramedics arrived soon afterwards and took Mr Surtees to hospital, where he died on Sunday.

Police have charged his 33-year-old wife of four years Angela O’Brien with murder.

Neighbours told Nine News they heard an argument coming from the home prior to emergency services being called.

It’s unclear if the couple’s children were at home at the time of the incident.

Ms O’Brien has been remanded in custody to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court today.
