As we reported yesterday, 20-yr-old Nicole Evans from Tasmania, Australia is in an induced coma and fighting for her life after her 34-yr-old fiancé is said to have poured petrol over her and set the young woman on fire.
The young woman is in a Melbourne hospital where her body has is said to have had 75% severe burns.
Her fiance, Matthew John Davey has already been in court over the act which is said to have happened Monday night in his apartment.
A hospital spokesman told Australian news site, News.com.au : “Nicole remains in a critical condition, there’s been no change.”
He said: “The dispute is being treated as a family violence incident, although there are no current family violence orders restricting the man and woman from being together.”
Davey pleaded not guilty to what’s being described as a “domestic incident” and will appear in court again on June 13th.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page set up to “help little Nikki and her family” has already raised more than A$3000 (€1800).
“On Monday night the 24th of April, 2017 a precious daughter, a sister, an aunt and my beautiful soul of a friend Nicole was allegedly set alight by her fiance,” it reads.
“Not only will she need endless surgery, treatments, physical and mental help if she pulls through this horrible and heartbreaking tragedy, but it will be ongoing for the rest of her life and also for her family.”
