Woman Set BF on Fire & Puts Him Out with Urine

First, the 38-year-old woman in western Pennsylvania allegedly doused her boyfriend with gasoline and lit him on fire, causing burns to 25 to 35 percent of the man's lower body.

Then, the woman is accused of pouring urine on him to put out the flames, according to TribLive.com in Pittsburgh.

It happened in Penn Hills, Allegheny County, in the wee hours of Monday morning, after the man, who was not immediately identified publicly, fell asleep in the basement of the couple's home.

After the man dozed off following an argument between the two, his girlfriend, identified as Leigh Ann Sepelyak, 38, allegedly poured gas on him, lit a cigarette and set him on fire, TribLive.com writes.

After an untold amount of time, she then attempted to douse the flames with a bucket of urine that the couple used as a toilet in the basement of the home, police told TribLive.com.

Sepelyak has been charged with attempted homicide.

As Penn Hills police Chief Howard Burton told TribLive.com:

"I can't see how that's an accident when it happens at 4:40 a.m. and the gas was 25 to 30 feet away from the bed. It had to be carried."

The boyfriend is hospitalized with burns, but expected to recover.
