No one just carries petrol around in containers. There must be more than this that went down.

Ask yourself if setting him on fire an Islamic punishment. No. It is not acceptable in any system of law.

U can't kill someone for stealing a handphone.. Killing is bigger offence than stealing... The life worth more than phone... That guy has gone crazy.. He will be hanged if that guy died.. All for what.. A mobile phone? Not worth it

This man who took law into his own hand & inflicted a barbaric punishment on the teenager must be dealt with an equal & like measure of punishment though believing that law has no such provision, he must dealt with an extreme punishment to set an example to others.

Please put him in prison for at least 10 years. Absolutely absurd!

If he was really a thief, then I have no sympathies for him. One such thief did the same with me, I went into depression, lost precious moments of my life and still have scars. :'(
