Girl, 15, torched in gruesome attack by another girl.

This kind of thing is beyond words.  We really don’t expect this sort of thing from girls. Or anyway, we didn’t used to. Says something that I’m not surprised.

Police have a “suspect.” Wonder if arrested and identified, what her ‘penalty’ might be.  Ya know, they now have Super ASBOS. Wonder if she’ll get one of those.  The perp here should I believe forfit any claim to “human or civil rights” And a fitting punishment would be to do the same to her.  The punisment should damn well fit the crime.

Girl, 15, torched in gruesome attack by love rival who told her ‘You won’t be pretty anymore’

A 15-year-old girl was set on fire using white spirit in a street ambush by a love rival who was jealous over a kiss.

Schoolfriends have said she turned up to a meet a friend when her attacker allegedly leapt from the bushes and doused her in the highly flammable liquid hidden in a Coca-Cola bottle.

Police say that as she flicked a lighter, the attacker said: ‘You won’t look pretty anymore.’

Resident Carly Costin rushed to the scene in Eltham, South-East London, with partner Jamie Kelsey after they heard the screams from their garden on Sunday afternoon.

‘It wasn’t a normal scream. It was a chilling, horrible sound like something from a horror movie,’ the mother-of-one said.

She saw the victim writhing in agony as her hair blazed until it was all gone.

‘The skin on the left side of her face was peeling off. She looked like she had been burnt under a grill.

Her T-shirt and bra had melted and her skin was bubbling,’ Ms Costin told told the Sun newspaper.

Mr Kelsey eventually managed to beat out the flames with a towel from the couple’s washing line.

The 15-year-old is in a ‘critical but stable’ condition in a specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex.

One friend, who asked not to be named, said: ‘She was set up. It’s disgusting.

‘She was with two girls. One of them set her up and the other girl was innocent and had no idea what was about to happen.

‘The one who set her up phoned her to come and meet them and go to the shops, but the attacker was waiting.

‘She jumped out of the bushes and attacked her, spraying the liquid on her from a plastic bottle.

‘It was white spirit that she sprayed on her and then she lit it. She was set on fire.’

She added: ‘This is all over nothing. I’ve been told the girl who attacked her thought she had kissed or even slept with her boyfriend and was getting her back for it.’

Police say the attacker was with a baby in a pram at the time of the attack, and clearly intended to leave her victim permanently disfigured.

They have not yet confirmed the victim’s name.

A 19-year-old woman is being held on suspicion of attempted murder.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
