• Emergency responders transferred her to a specialist burn clinic for critical care, where she remains under close medical supervision.
• Officers arrested the 44-year-old partner the following day after he fled the scene, and a magistrate has since issued an arrest warrant at the prosecutor’s request.

• Investigators have not yet determined a motive, and the probe into the precise sequence of events is ongoing.
