A 32-year-old woman is recovering from burns to her face, neck, chest, back and left arm after her boyfriend allegedly set her on fire during an argument in Arima.<\/p>\n
According to police reports, the incident occurred around 3 am on Friday, November 6, 2026.<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s sister-in-law was awakened by cries for help. When she opened her door, she found the woman crying and seeking refuge.<\/p>\n
The victim entered the house and sat on a bedroom bed. Shortly afterwards, her boyfriend reportedly arrived, and another argument erupted.<\/p>\n
Police allege that the man picked up a lighted lamp, poured its contents on the woman and set her ablaze.<\/p>\n
The relative managed to extinguish the flames before fleeing the house.<\/p>\n
The injured woman was rushed by ambulance to the Arima Health Facility, where she was treated and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n
The suspect fled and remained at large when the police report was made. Investigators processed the scene, and the matter was referred to the Special Victims Unit.<\/p>\n
HOW MANY MORE WOMEN MUST SUFFER?<\/p>\n
What kind of men are we producing in Trinidad and Tobago? Seriously!<\/p>\n
An argument? A disagreement? A relationship dispute?<\/p>\n
Since when does any of that justify setting another human being on fire?<\/p>\n
And this is not the first time our country has faced such horrifying allegations.<\/p>\n
In 2019, police officer Kelly-Ann Humphrey was set on fire during an argument with her boyfriend in El Socorro.<\/p>\n
In 2024, Afiya Adams, 41, died after being set on fire during a domestic dispute in Freeport.<\/p>\n
In January 2026, a San Fernando woman suffered second-degree burns after her former boyfriend allegedly set her on fire.<\/p>\n
Now, in November 2026, another woman is recovering from burns following another alleged domestic attack.<\/p>\n
Different women. Different years. The same horrifying violence.<\/p>\n
What level of cruelty drives someone to inflict unimaginable suffering on a person they supposedly love?<\/p>\n
This is not love. This is not passion. This is brutality.<\/p>\n
Men must hold other men accountable. Families must stop protecting abusers. Communities must stop looking away. And our justice system must ensure that those responsible are held accountable.<\/p>\n
Violence against women and men is unacceptable. No disagreement, rejection or broken relationship gives anyone the right to destroy another person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
An argument should never become a death sentence. A broken relationship should never leave someone fighting for life.<\/p>\n
We need more than outrage. We need prevention, protection, accountability and justice.<\/p>\n
