A woman has been burned alive by an obsessed childhood friend who changed sex so he could propose to her.
R. Nandhini, 25, first met her killer when they were kids, becoming pals but years later she found herself rejecting their marriage proposal as she instead showed an interest in someone else at their IT firm in Thoraipakkam, Chennai, India.
Sicko Vetrimaran who transitioned from female to male, allegedly lured Nandhini out for a ride on his motorbike on Christmas Eve before blindfolding her under the promise of a surprise present.
Instead as her hellish fears mounted, Nandhini found herself tied up with chains by her legs and arms and begged to be released, only for Vetrimaran to slash her with a knife.
Finally, he poured kerosene over her, and set her alight before fleeing, he told police. Local Deputy Commissioner of Police Gowtham Goyal said: “Around 7.00 to 7.15 pm, he took her to a vacant plot near Ponmar Road. As per the preliminary investigation, he would have blindfolded her under the pretext of presenting a gift.
“After that, he chained her arms and legs before cutting her wrists and ankles. He then poured kerosene on her and set her alight to burn to death.”
