9-1-1 Tape Released of Connecticut Woman Set on Fire
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - A New Haven woman police say was set on fire by her boyfriend can be heard screaming in a 911 call tape released by authorities.
In a neighbor's call to police Sunday, Christina Lee yells "He's setting my daughter on fire!" while the neighbor pleads with a dispatcher to send help because Lee was badly burned. Police released the tape Wednesday.
Lee suffered burns on about 40 percent of her body and remains in critical condition at Bridgeport Hospital.
Police say Lee's boyfriend, 50-year-old Howard Stewart, poured an accelerant on Lee and her 12-year-old daughter and set Lee on fire. The girl escaped unharmed, and rescued Lee's 3-month-old daughter from the burning house.
Stewart is being held in lieu of $2 million bail on arson, assault and other charges.

Set a woman on fire. Tried to set a child on fire as well. Hmm...
Tie his face to a engine block, and start the motor, leave running until his screaming stops.
