One of The heroes who snatched a woman from a horrific death told of her screams yesterday, as police continued looking for the perpetrator responsible for entering her house, attacking her, and setting her body on fire on Sunday.

The woman was staying at her brother’s house alone in Bartlett’s Tenantry, Sargeant’s Village, Christ Church.

Up to press time, there was no word from police on the identity of the 44-year-old woman. They said investigations were on to find out who had committed the assault, which left the woman nursing burns to around 75 per cent of her body.

Around 1:55 p.m. on Sunday, police got a report about the incident that led to a house fire, and were informed an intruder barged into the woman’s bedroom, choked her, doused her with a flammable substance, set the house on fire, and fled. (SB)
