A teenage girl in India has been raped and burned alive by her attacker ‑ the third instance of such an attack in the same week.

The 16‑year‑old girl died after being soaked in fuel and set on fire at her home in the Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh.

Police said she was killed after telling her attacker she would inform her family about the rape.

Two other similar attacks, one fatal, took place this week.
