A WOMAN'S drunk and jealous fiancé set fire to her in savage attack after he was enraged by the way she spoke to another man, it is claimed.

Evgeny Bondaruk, 24, allegedly carried out the attack in the living quarters he shared with Alexandra Kuzmina at the petrol station where the 19-year-old worked.

Angered the way she had spoken to the man, he returned home drunk, smashed up the furniture, poured petrol over her and then set it alight, it is claimed.

Kuzmina, a cashier at a filling station, suffered burns covering 80 per cent of her body from the attack, which took place near Yalta in Crimea.

A witness who saw the aftermath described it as being “like out of a horror film”.

Bondaruk himself has burns to his hands and face and is under armed guard by police in hospital.

He faces an attempted murder charge which could lead to 20 years in jail.

The couple shared the quarters where they both worked for the summer season in the tourist peninsula and bedding was also destroyed by fire.

A month earlier, as the pair started their relationship, Alexandra had posted that “something beautiful is trying to enter my life” adding that she felt “magic” and a “loved one close by”.

A distressing video shows the victim screaming and writhing in agony after the vicious attack which burned all her clothes.

Paramedics are seen seeking to help the naked woman minutes after the fire was doused.

She told them: “You should kill me rather than feel this pain”.

Kuzmina was rushed to hospital where she was put in an artificial coma with assisted breathing.

Doctors now expect her to survive after she was airlifted to hospital.

But a friend said “her life has been ruined by the attack” with “her whole body badly burned and damaged forever”.

The pal said: “She had been so happy and he has wrecked everything - her beauty will never recover.”

Relatives are desperately gathering money to pay for her treatment.

Her mother Olesya Kuzmina, 38, said the couple had recently become engaged.

She said: “She is a senior cashier at the filling station, where he works too.

“He was drunk, and jealous about something.

“He went into their living quarters, I have been told, and broke the furniture, poured petrol in the room and all over her.

“Then he set everything on fire. He must not get away with it.

“She had said only good things about him. But then they fell out over something.”

A witness said: “I was going home, drove through the filling station. I saw the girl before she was loaded into the ambulance.

“At first, she seemed overcome by shock. She was silent.

“And then she started screaming from real pain.

“I used to work in medical aviation. I’ve seen a lot, but this was like out of a horror film.

“Then an ambulance arrived, paramedics, resuscitation, and firefighters.”

The case is under the control of the Russian Investigative Committee in Crimea.

A court hearing was moved to his hospital ward, and a judge remanded him in custody.
