Background
NZ Herald story here
Singh had been working in Swaran Singh's (no relation) vegetable shop when the two began an affair. She became enraged when Mr Singh tried to break off what he called a "very minor" sexual relationship. Refusing to accept his decision, an emotional Singh pursued her ex-lover, phoning him, sending love letters at first, and then hate-mail. On June 21 she called him to arrange a final meeting at a Hamilton park. As he sat in his car she doused him with a bucket of petrol, set it alight and fled the scene. With his arms, face and thighs on fire, Mr Singh jumped from his burning car into a nearby puddle. He suffered burns to his face and legs, and serious burns to his hands.
