A 17-year-old Spanish girl is fighting for her life after she was set on fire by a migrant who was awaiting deportation.
The victim suffered burns to 95% of her body after being torched on Wednesday morning in a squat in La Isleta neighbourhood in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Her alleged attacker is a 20-year-old Moroccan man named only as Abarrafia H. by Spanish press.
He had arrived in the island of Lanzarote on a rubber dingy on June 2 before being transferred to Gran Canaria while he awaited deportation, Spanish newspaper ABC reports.
Harrowing footage shows the moment a blaze engulfed a house when a fire broke out after the victim was set alight.
