I’m not going to contradict the story until an investigation is completed.

But the story does seem problematic, in several ways.

First, the obvious, “4 men” didn’t ALL spray her, or throw a lighter.

Second — if I had a spray bottle with fluid, and squirted it at someone enough to actually get stuff on them, it would be a LOT of spray. It would run down her face, her neck, onto clothing.

However, just throwing a lighter, as others said, isn’t enough, it has to be a lighter that stays lit. Heck, if you threw a match, it would probably go out from wind. So, an expensive lighter, the police should have it and be tracing it.

If you aren’t like a foot away, the chances of the lighter managing to light the small amount of fluid she apparently had on her is slim. If it was enough fluid for the lighter to actually catch on fire, it would have caught her clothing, and burned solid on her face.

She says she swiped it up from her neck. But she didn’t show burns on her hands, which I would think would have burns if she drug burning fluid with her hands to her face.

She could be telling the truth. She might have been involved in the nearby firebombing. Maybe she was just a victim of it, and doesn’t want to admit seeing it, and was going to be quiet but once her mother found her she had to make up a story.
