A man has been convicted of murdering his ex-partner who died 21 years after he set her alight, inspired by a scene from the film Reservoir Dogs.
Jacqueline Kirk was left severely disfigured from the attack by Steven Craig in Weston-super-Mare in 1998.
Craig, 58, was found guilty of grievous bodily harm at the time and released in 2015, having served a prison sentence.
Ms Kirk died in 2019 from complications relating to the injuries she suffered, so Craig was then charged with murder.
Jurors at Bristol Crown Court unanimously found Craig guilty after approximately four hours and 45 minutes of deliberations.
