A 20-year-old man in Ocoee, Fla., was charged with murder after he confessed to pouring gasoline over his ex-girlfriend and then setting her on fire because she may have been pregnant, police told Local 6 News.
Winter Garden police officers investigating a report of a car fire noticed a small fire on the east side of County Road 545 on Feb. 25.
When officers extinguished the flames, they found the body of Amelia Sookdeo, 17, burned beyond recognition.
Sookdeo was reported missing by her mother earlier the same day after she left her home through a window without her parents' knowledge.
An investigation into the homicide led to Sookdeo's ex-boyfriend, Dane Abdool, 20, who at first denied any involvement in the crime, according to the report.
However, when police confronted him with inconsistencies in his story and presented a set of tire marks from his car photographed at the scene, Abdool confessed to the crime, Local 6 News reported.
"He admitted that he had met his former girlfriend that night, she sneaked out and he picked her up and went to his apartment in Ocoee," Winter Garden Police Chief George Brennan said. "From there they left and had an argument and he took her down County Road 545, forced her out of the car. He poured gasoline on her and ignited it."
Abdool told police that he was arguing with Sookdeo over her possible pregnancy and he was just trying to scare her, Local 6 News reported.
"The medical examiner found no evidence that she was having a baby," Local 6 reporter Mike DeForest said.
Duct tape was found at the scene, along with gloves to which Abdool would have had access to at his work, police said.
Abdool was charged with first-degree murder late Thursday.
whats the difference?
No words for this one...
Unreal is a good word. Sick, demented, sad, horrible, and then we get into words that should not be posted. This boy deserves a walk down the green mile.
Or both.
I wonder if the prosecutor will seek the death penalty?
I found them ..... "The Masses".
A Venn diagram would nicely illustrate that TROP is a subgroup of "homicidal maniac", but I'll bet you already knew that.
Owl_Eagle(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
There's only one word to describe it and that's EVIL.
if only abortion were legal we could put an end to these tragedies once and for all.
oh... what's that you say??
The sad results of letting a vicious tidal wave of 3rd world scum into our nation, self inflicted ruination from within...
Dane Abdool
Light him up.
Put him out.
Repeat as necessary.
OMG!
How awful.
It brings to mind that old saying that goes something like, "If you play with fire, expect to get burned." This time, it's not just a metaphor.
"confessed to pouring gasoline over his ex-girlfriend and then setting her on fire"
Does he usually try to "just scare" people in this manner??????
Yup..
Yup..
They need to give this fine citizen his shoelaces back and a little privacy, after explaining to him why he is being given one last chance to do the first right thing in his sorry life.
