DEAR God, not again. It was the thought that crossed all our minds when news broke of yet another woman burned to death allegedly by her estranged partner. Kelly Wilkinson, 27, should have spent this week filling lunch boxes, brushing messy hair and doing school drop offs with her three children aged under nine. Her generous kind-heartedness and smiling blue eyes should still be spreading warmth among her family and friends. Kelly Wilkinson was burned alive in her backyard. Picture: Facebook It was the second day back to school after the Easter holidays. Her sobbing children crouched nearby watching her die.

A map based on evidence from key police witnesses shows the shocking extent of a 17-year-old s road-rage spree through the streets of Brisbane, just minutes before he ploughed into a pregnant woman and her boyfriend, leaving both dead.
The behaviour of the teenager over roughly ten minutes before the horror crash that claimed the lives of Kate Leadbetter, 31, and Matthew Field, 37, was crucial in police deciding to charge him with murder, not a lesser charge.
So too was video posted to Facebook that showed the 17-year-old allegedly showing him driving erratically.
The footage caught the teen driver - who cannot be named - abusing and gesturing towards a family at a red light, before appearing to deliberately crash into their car.
