An 18-year-old Pakistani woman died after being set on fire for refusing a marriage proposal, police have said. Schoolteacher Maria Sadaqat Abbasi was drenched in petrol and set alight by four men who left her to die.
Abbasi had been babysitting her five-year-old sister in the small village of Davel, outside Murree in northeastern Pakistan, at the time.
Her uncle found her and said: "Maria was lying on the floor, with 85 percent of her body covered in burns.
"We had to carry Maria on a chair to the closest road to get her to an ambulance."
She was taken to a hospital 30 miles away where she eventually died from her injuries.
