Stumbled upon this on the way to work......

Going to work on Sunday morning at about 5:30am, going over the bridge at Brandy Wharf I see a T5 ambulance car surrounded by approximately 15 stereotypical chavs, track suits, carling cans etc...

Anyways, this was the reason for it!

It appears that a 19yr old lad tried to kill a 15yr old girl by setting her alight.

Flaming heck and all that...

Shocking.

Flaming heck indeed, that's unbelievable... going to work at 0530 on a Sunday morning?

15 year old child, critically burned - keep the gags coming, a-holes.

It doesn't say he set her alight. Just says burns to upper body and face. Could be acid, perhaps? How would you set someone alight in a busy place?

Pour petrol on them and chuck them a match!!! However im sure they would have to be keen on this as Im not sure I would stand around if someone threw petrol on me!

squirt of lighter fluid and a match, Takes some cold to do it tho. sickening

Interesting that it is attempted murder and not something like ABH. Does that mean the police have evidence that it was planned?

I suppose you don't accidentally set people alight, however...

I think being burned to death must be one of the worst ways to die.

It must be bad, the lass has been moved up to a specialist unit in Newcastle.

Doesn't have to be premeditated to be (attempted) murder.
