Man charged with attempted murder after allegedly setting woman on fire at home south of Brisbane | Queensland

A Queensland man has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly setting fire to a woman in a horrific act of domestic violence in a home south of Brisbane.

After being treated by paramedics at the scene in the Logan suburb of Kingston on Saturday morning, the 34-year-old woman was rushed to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s hospital in a serious condition. Police say she sustained serious burns.

The 36-year-old Kingston man was charged with attempted murder on Saturday night, as well as common assault and breach of domestic violence.

Police said authorities were called to the Kingston Court house at about 7.45am with reports of an “altercation” between a man and a woman, where they found the woman with burns to her body. They will allege the man had “produced a lighter and lit [her] on fire”.

The property where the woman was found was declared a crime scene, police said, with “secondary” crime scenes at Gould Adams Park on Kingston Road and the Kingston train station.

Police opposed bail and the man is expected to appear in Beenleigh magistrates court on Monday.
