Girl, 17, set alight, spurned ex-boyfriend on the run
A teenage girl is now in the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Burns Care Unit after her ex-boyfriend set her on fire, on Saturday night.
The victim was identified as 17-year-old Susana Culpeper, of Charity Essequibo Coast. She reportedly ended an abusive relationship with her ex-lover prior to the attack.
The suspect is 21-year old labourer of Charity. He has since been detained.
Reports indicate that following the break up, the young woman decided that she would spend the night with a friend.
Her ex-lover allegedly made his way to the friend’s property. He then doused the young woman with gasoline through an opened bedroom window, and set her alight.
