FAMILY OF BURN

VICTIM SPEAK FROM BEDSIDE

- BY PAUL HEALY

THE family of a woman who was doused in an accelerant and set on fire have told how she was trying to turn her life around when the horrific attack happened.

Tragic mother-of-two Alexis Lee Campion (44) is still in hospital in an induced coma and fighting for her life after a thug connected to a drugs gang set her on fire when she answered her front door to them in Oak Downs, Clondalkin, West Dublin on November 25.

This week her family spoke to the Irish Mirror about her condition in hospital - and how the innocent woman, who was not the primary target of the attack, fell in with “the wrong people” but was trying to turn things around when the tragedy occurred.

"She's a very good person that unfortunately met the wrong people in her life," the family member said. “It’s very sad.

"She lost her mother in 2019 and she never fully got over that.”

The devastated family members, who have not left Alexis' bedside, also told how they have gone through so much - from the loss of her parents to her brother - who was killed when he was burned to death in a motorcycle crash in 2004.

"We want justice. These people shouldn't be walking the streets." FAMILY MEMBER

"We went through a lot of pain in this family. I get up to the hospital to see her as much as I can every day. She's fighting two weeks on. But God doesn't want her yet," a family member said.
