A 43-year-old woman from Thailand suffered a horrific domestic abuse after her ex- husband doused her with lighter fluid and set her on fire.

The culprit, 50-year-old Somkuan Jongsuk was said to have stormed the victim's place of work in Thepkrasattri, Thaland District, where she works as a cleaner.
He first beat her up before setting her on fire.

Commenting on the attack, a police spokesperson who confirmed the couple had a history of domestic abuse, said: 'Somkuan turned up on a motorbike. He shouted for her before he went inside the building. He poured fuel on her from a glass bottle and lit her on fire.


The 50-year-old man is being held in police custody for the gruesome act.
