33-year-old Jekope Naimawi has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering his partner on the 10th of January last year.
Justice Salesi Temo has said that Naimawi is to serve a minimum of 18 years in prison before he can seek presidential pardon.
Naimawi assaulted his 35-year-old partner with a biscuit tin which contained home-brew.
He then poured premix over her and set her on fire while she was unconscious.
The woman was hospitalised with serious injuries and passed away two weeks later.
