A Chinese man kidnapped his pregnant girlfriend and tried to blow her up with a gas canister he had tied to her.
Despite suffering horrific injuries, Xu Fan, 21 survived the ordeal as did her unborn baby.
She accidentally ended up pregnant after a one night stand with Li
Moulian, 36, in Mazhuang New Village in Huizhou City of Guangdong
Province in the south of China.
The couple decided to stay together with Li working hard getting
occasional jobs to raise the money for his new family, and the couple
moving in together.
But the pressure seems to have been too much for the new father to be,
after he attacked her while she was asleep and dragged her out of her
bed to his car when he tied the gas tank to her back and told her he
planned to kill her.
She told police that there had been no signs that he was in any way
unstable in the six months since she met him, and she had been shocked
when he had been shouting at her that he knew she had killed his family.
He had bundled her into the car and driven around the town before police
were able to spot him, after getting a call from one of the neighbours
who had seen the young woman being dragged off.
Police spokesman Tao Hou, 36, said: "As the police car with a siren
approached the car with the man and woman inside, and another blocked
off its escape route from the rear, the man ignited something in the car
which exploded into flames."
The girl was pulled from the car by police who had instantly attempted
to extinguish the flames that were covering her body. Both the man and
women were however extremely badly burned and taken to hospital, where
they ended up in the same operating room side-by-side as surgeons worked
to save the lives. After rescuing the girl and extinguishing the blaze,
police had then rescued the man who was far more severely burned as a
result, and who is not expected to survive.
The young woman's family said they had warned her against getting
involved too quickly with Li Moulian, from Lufeng City located in the
southeast of Guangdong Province. Her uncle Wu Chin, 47, said: "We had
warned her that she needed to know more about him before deciding to
spend her life with him, it seems sadly the warnings were true as he
clearly has mental problems. To suddenly accuse her in the middle of the
night trying to kill his parents shows he is obviously severely
paranoid. It is a bad start in life for the child as well with the
father having obvious mental problems."
