Woman dies after ex-boyfriend douses her in gasoline and sets her ablaze!

Reports said that the 49 year- old woman, had recently ended her three-year relationship with her ex, Michael Kennedy, he came to her house in a Birmingham suburb early on Sunday and argued with her before setting her ablaze.

“It’s a totally senseless and violent loss of life,” said Sergeant Jack Self, spokesman for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. “This is a special kind of evil that has no place existing in our society.”

The 48 year- old ex- boyfriend who fled in Prater’s sport utility vehicle, was arrested on Monday about five miles away by U.S. Marshals. He was initially charged with attempted murder – a charge likely to be upgraded with Prater’s death.

Prater, who suffered burns on her head, face, chest, arms and legs, was hospitalized in serious condition before turning for the worse on Monday night, she died just after midnight on Tuesday, he said.

Authorities said that Kennedy, who remains in jail on a $250,000 bond, has a criminal record that includes arrests for robbery and assault.
