26-year-old critical after bei

A 26-year-old woman on Friday was critically injured after another woman doused her with inflammable liquid and set her on fire during a fight in Catania.
    The victim was receiving treatment in the intensive care unit of the local Cannizzaro Hospital after suffering 20% burns on her face, neck, arms and chest during the attack which took place in the middle of a street in the Sicilian city.
    The 26-year-old is being followed by specialists from the hospital's burns unit.
    Sources close to the probe said that the attack might have been connected to a prior fight over the phone between two minors.
    In particular, according to the Catania police flying squad investigating the case, the two girls had fought over a boy they were both interested in.
    The police are trying to determine the dynamic of the attack and whether it was premeditated.
