Man vas after 'trying to burn girlfriend alive' in a flat fire
A BONTEHEUWEL mother says she and her friends were nearly burned alive at the weekend after her jealous boyfriend doused them in petrol in his flat.
When one guy then lit an entjie, all hell broke loose, leaving the flat completely burned down, a neighbouring unit partly burned and three mense needing medical attention at a local hospital.
The girlfriend, who asked not to be named, told the Daily Voice that she had been dating the 28-year-old boyfriend, who was arrested on Sunday night, since April and that she had moved in his family home in Betsy Court, Heideveld, a few months ago with her two small children along with his siblings and two family friends.
She says there were red flags al vroeg in their verhouding, but she didn't expect things to escalate to this level.
