Chinese student, 17, suffers horrific facial injuries after being doused in petrol and set alight in her bedroom because she spurned advances of 'arrogant' boy

A Chinese teenager suffered horrific burns to her face after she was doused in petrol and set alight because she spurned the advances of a classmate. Zhou Yan, 17, had been flattered when Tao Rukun, also 17 and the son of a wealthy and well-connected family, had asked her out for a date. But when she decided he was too arrogant, and told him to leave her alone, she said he had become aggressive and threatening. Her worried parents had moved her to a new school, but instead of being put off Tao pestered her at her home, and after asking to speak to her in private in her room last September, doused her in petrol and set her on fire.
