Bus burn victim dies of injuries

DORCAS MARFO STAFF REPORTER

A woman, set on fire in what police described as a random “hate-motivated” attack on a TTC bus last month, has died.

The attack occurred June 17 near Kipling Station in the city’s west end around 12:30 p.m.

A man doused the woman with an unknown liquid before igniting it.

The victim, who was in her 20s, was rushed by ambulance to the hospital with second and third-degree burns. Tenzin Norbu, 33, has been charged with attempted murder, assault with a weapon, common nuisance endangering lives and safety of the public and mischief over $5,000 interfering with property.
