Girl burned in lighter fluid attack
The Toronto Star (Canada's largest daily newspaper), by JOANNA SMITH, STAFF
REPORTER, Oct. 4, 2006 A 13-year-old girl suffered second-degree burns to her
chest after two boys sprayed her with lighter fluid and set her shirt on fire in
York, police say. Two teenage boys were recording themselves with a digital
camera as they played with lighter fluid and set their clothing on fire in the
Eglinton Ave. W. and Black Creek Dr. area around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
When the girl who was with them refused to have her own clothing ignited, she
was held down, sprayed with lighter fluid and had her T-shirt lit on fire,
police said.
Two 15-year-old boys, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act,
are charged with aggravated assault, mischief endangering life and assault with
a weapon.
