I’ve been trying to find out more about this because the story doesn’t make any sense:
“he approached the sleeping woman, and then lit her on fire with what was believed to be a lighter. She added the victim’s clothes became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds.”
Clothing shouldn’t just be flammable like that without some kind of accelerant.

Homeless people might use layers of all kinds of stuff to stay warm (think newspaper, etc as a common material), they also don’t have the privilege of being able to wash their clothes very often. There could have been all sorts of things that compromise the flame retardancy of the clothing.
People don’t typically expect to be set on fucking fire while they sleep, so it’s not usually a risk to be concerned about.
The guy that did this is an absolute psycho
There’s no evidence but I’m wondering if the dude came up to this sleeping woman, poured alcohol on her, then lit her up.
