A 20-year-old illegal Moroccan immigrant was arrested in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, after setting his girlfriend, a 17-year-old minor whom he burned alive, on fire. She remains hospitalized in serious condition.
According to local media, both were living together and illegally occupying a house in the La Isleta neighborhood. Emergency services replied to assist the victim after a neighbor alerted 112 about a fire in the house.
The attack occurred this Wednesday around 4:00 a.m. The arrested illegal immigrant, identified as Abarrafia, threw paper soaked in fuel and set it alight onto the minor and then set her on fire. Additionally, he also suffered injuries from smoke inhalation.
