A Fulton County woman doused her boyfriend with gasoline then set him on fire while he was in bed early Saturday, police said.
The woman, 39-year-old Cynthia Covington, was also burned, said Corporal Gary Syblis of the Fulton County police. Both are in Grady Memorial Hospital. No charges have been filed.
Syblis said Bobby Thompson, 50, of Marly Drive in south Fulton came home from work about 6:30 a.m. went to bed.
Covington threw gas on him and lit it for reasons not yet known. Thompson was burned in the crotch, arms and face, Syblis said. The flames spread to the house, damaging the room.
The fire department put the fire out. Thompson and Covington lived at the house. Police have been called there previously to resolve domestic disputes, Syblis said.
