RESERVOIR DOGS MURDERER

A man has been convicted of murder after a Reservoir Dogs style attack, where he doused a woman in petrol and lit her on fire, left her suffering and ultimately led to her death 21 years after the attack. Steven Craig, 58, set Jacqueline Kirk on fire in April 1998. The mother of two suffered burns on 35% of her body and required operations and needed a tracheotomy. He did 15 years behind bars, but once Ms. Kirk died in 2019 he was rearrested and then charged and convicted or her murder.

He is believed to have got the idea for the attack from the famous Quentin Tarantino movie. He then inflicted the terrible ordeal onto her in a car park in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset. She spent 9 months in hospital, with numerous operations and skin grafts.
