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.
This guy should be executed in the Orange Bowl. At least 80,000 would pay to watch and the state could have a good source of revenue.
Let's see, raise a kid or pay child support? or
Rot in prison or be executed?
Tough decession.
I hope he has a really awful time in jail and gets fried himself. Prayers for this girl & her family.
There's certainly a lot of knee-jerk reactions and responses posted here just because the perp appears to be of middle eastern ancestry. Muslim? Maybe, mabe not. For the record, crimes of this nature are always committed by sociopathic scumbags who can be any color or ethnicity. That this one happens to "look middle eastern" doesn't make all people of that ethnicity guilty by association! I don't think that line of (un)reasoning is up to the standards of good conservatives. Anger can obviously cloud logic at times but the danger in that is apparent.

Phraseology..
Here's two:

Sookdeo was reported missing by her mother earlier the same day after she left her home through a window without her parents' knowledge.
Sometimes a poor decision can lead to terrible consequences.
While I agree with your central premise that you can't read a book by its cover, a history of well documanted "honor killings" perpetrated by Muslims leads one to opine prematurely.
This woman was treated as property, not a human being. In what framework or construct does one absorb this mentality and demonstrate it so viciously?
But you are correct. Humans should not pre-judge other humans.

"Only after pouring gasoline over him.
That way, if they want to get rid of Ol' Sparky, it could go out in a real useful blaze of glory."
Totally agree! Good suggestion.
I had enough the very first time George Dubai Bush said "islam means peace" I've known since high school - 1971 - that islam is the arabic word for "submit"
What will it take, before the outrage is felt in Washington?
I suppose if FLT 93 had taken out the capitol building there might be some.
Will it take street violence or full blown civil war for the congress critters to recognize what's happening?
Do you think that would suffice?
BLOAT
I would donate the $50.
I would love to see the punishment fit the crime, i.e. if you shoot someone, then you are shot, if you rape and stab, then you are raped and stabbed. It makes sense to me.
Totally agree.
er..whats with this "we" business? Last I checked, "we" didn't live in FL.
