Attempted murder report

[Briggsy]

Australian news reporting a Thai woman residing in Australia was set on fire using gasoline by her partner. The attack took place in the foyer of an apartment building in Sydney following a domestic dispute. The fact that the attack took place in a public place allowed rescuers to save her life. The partner has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.

We know a Thai student living in the same apartment building. She shares with about 8 others in the same unit for which she pays about $200 a week.

Lots of Thai people in the building as it is in the Thai Town part of Sydney

Neighbours found the woman screaming and covered in flames up to a metre high in the sixth-floor common area of their Castlereagh Street apartment complex, Regis Towers. One resident smothered the flames with a gym towel before emergency services arrived.

Ouch, sorry to hear it for her.

Unfortunately, he'll most likely get to plead insanity, and get away with it. Pretty tough for the prosecution to argue that someone of sane mind doused their lover in gas, and lit her on fire in public.

This part of the world also acid attacks are "normal".
