A WOMAN from Shurugwi is battling life threatening burns at a local hospital after she was doused with petrol and set alight by an imbiber for refusing to sell him beer on credit.<\/p>\n

The nerve wrecking incident occurred last week in Shurugwi.<\/p>\n

Midlands Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the tragic incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice confirm a case of attempted murder where a 64-year-old Shurugwi woman was set ablaze by his former co-tenant who doused her with petrol before lighting matches,\u201d said Mahoko.<\/p>\n

Circumstances are that the suspect Evans Matagu (38) went to the victim\u2019s residence where she operates a Shebeen before requesting beer on credit. She turned down the request stating Matagu already owed her some money.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect got furious and set her on fire. Other shebeen patrons managed to put out the fire, saving her life,\u201d said Mahoko.<\/p>\n

The suspect has since been arrested and currently in custody.<\/p>\n
