An evil thug caused horrifying life-changing injuries to his former partner when he set her on fire before leaving her for dead.
Ellen Marshall was covered in petrol as she sat in a chair before her partner, Leigh Pateman, ignited her with his lighter. She suffered such catastrophic injuries that she is still recovering in hospital - 11 months after the terrifying ordeal that nearly killed her.
Pateman fled the house in Skegness, leaving his partner for dead as she burned in the chair. He was later found hiding out at his mother's house. She suffered 80 to 90 per cent burns to the top half of her body and was given less than a 50 per cent chance of survival, Hull Live reports.
