someone find the video ;)

A man is being questioned by police after a woman was burned to death in a lift by an attacker in her New York apartment building.

Doris Gillespie, 64, was ambushed, sprayed with flammable liquid and then set alight. The incident was caught on CCTV.

A 47-year-old man, who has not been charged, walked into a police station overnight smelling of petrol and implicated himself, police said.

The attacker was seen entering the lift dressed as a pest controller, wearing gloves, with a protective mask on his head and a container on his back in Brooklyn, New York.

He then went to the fifth floor and lay in wait for his victim, who was returning home from shopping.

The attacker is reported to have first glued shut the locks on the woman's apartment and then doused the lift door with accelerant.

As she opened it, the man sprayed her in the face, then covered her from head to toe in flammable liquid.

Ms Gillespie crouched down and threw her hands up to her face, as shopping bags dangled from her arms.

Having cornered the woman in the lift, he then ignited a Molotov cocktail - a wine bottle filled with accelerant with a rag stuffed in its neck.

The video went white as the woman was set on fire using the bottle's wick.

The man then threw the bottle inside the lift, after crouching behind the door "as if he was anticipating an explosion," one policeman said.

Two surveillance cameras were filming the attack as he again sprayed Ms Gillespie's burning body with the ignitable liquid before fleeing down the stairs in the Prospect Heights area.

"I've never seen anything like this, and I've been doing this a long time," a detective was quoted as saying in the New York Daily News.

Ben Olson, 37, who lives on the sixth floor, said: "It's horrific. I can't believe it's true."

Mr Browne would not comment on the motive in the killing.

That's not a 47 year old man I don't think - mid 30's at most? I know, black don't crack.

Anyone ask yourself.

How can you defend yourself against that unless you realise what is happening in a split second and you know they're going to light you up.

Seems the guy torched her because she owed him $2000. Not exactly the best money collection method.

A man charged with dousing a woman in flammable liquid and tossing a Molotov cocktail on her in an elevator told police he set her on fire because he was angry that she owed him $2,000, authorities said Sunday.

Jerome Isaac, of Brooklyn, was arrested Sunday on murder and arson charges in the death of 73-year-old Deloris Gillespie. The 47-year-old Isaac reeked of gasoline when he entered a police station overnight and implicated himself in Gillespie's death, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.

Gillespie was ambushed in the elevator of her Brooklyn apartment building on Saturday afternoon, Browne said. The suspect had been waiting for her when the elevator doors opened to the fifth floor of her building in Prospect Heights, police said.

"It was apparent he knew she was on the elevator," Browne said.

After setting Gillespie ablaze, Isaac went to his apartment building just blocks away and set a fire there, Browne said. He then hid on a roof before turning himself in to police, Browne said.

Isaac told police that Gillespie owed him $2,000 from some work he had done for her, Browne said. The Brooklyn district attorney's office said they didn't know whether Isaac had an attorney.

I always wondered why loansharks killed you or broke body parts for money owed. Can't collect if you're dead or out of work.
