At first site, the headline followed by the location seemed to be a bit familiar. For a moment, I considered the possibility that I was just reading an old story, but as soon as I got past the first paragraph- I realised that although the story sounds the same, it is sadly- a different one.
For the second time in a year, a woman has been doused with flammable liquids and set on fire by a estranged husband.
I'll never understand what can motivate a person to do such a thing, especially in the case of a husband doing this to his wife.

For the second time in a year, a woman has been doused with flammable liquids and set on fire by a estranged husband.
A woman doused with gasoline and set afire allegedly by her estranged husband was hospitalized in stable condition Sunday, authorities said.
Freda Edwards, 39, is being treated in the Washington Hospital Center's burn unit for second- and third-degree burns to her face, neck and upper body.
According to police investigators, Anthony Willoughby, 40, a self-employed landscaper, took the fuel tank off of a gasoline-powered weed trimmer and doused Edwards with the fuel before setting her ablaze around 3 a.m. Saturday.
