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.

BookMan Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) 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 Woman suffers burns after allegedly being set alight The victim - an Australian citizen of Thai background - is in a serious but stable condition at Concord Hospital after sustaining significant burns to her upper body and face. Advertisement 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. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/woman-suffers-burns-after-allegedly-being-set-alight-20140308-34dxt.html Edited March 8, 2014 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nautilus05 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
