‘Man throws liquid over girlfriend (37) and sets her on fire’ | Abroad

The 33-year-old man is said to have doused his 37-year-old girlfriend with a flammable liquid, and then set her on fire. The woman managed to extinguish herself by jumping headlong into a pool in the garden. At that time, however, she was already seriously injured, Nieuwsblad writes.

The victim sustained severe burns almost all over her body. Currently, doctors are keeping her in an artificial coma.

Suspect also taken to hospital

Officers were called to Looystraat in Nijlen because of the bizarre incident. The suspect was immediately arrested. He injured himself in the head in prison. The suspect was admitted to hospital for this. He will be questioned later.
