Virginia councilman Lee Vogler & the petrol attack.
It seems that this chap was just “going about his daily office business,” when a bloke called Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, a 29 year old from from Danville, who is now being done for attempted first degree murder, managed to force his way in, then poured a U.S. gallon’s worth of gasoline over him from a bucket he had carried in, then when Vogler attempted to flee, chased after him, then set it all alight. This was apparently personal, so he had some kind of grudge, nothing to do with Vogler’s political role. It seems that this type of attack today is not an uncommon act throughout the world.
Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei was doused with petrol, then set on fire by her former boyfriend, leading to her death a few days later, due to extensive burns.
Surinder Kumar a 27 year old from India had petrol poured over his body, & in his mouth, during a brutal assault over a land dispute. He died later from his injuries.
The list goes on, but from what I have assumed, most of these examples happen in India. The latest victim is very lucky to be alive. I am still not sure though if the fuel that was used in these instances was either Premium, or Regular?
