“The Criminal Court prosecutor on duty was summoned to the scene but on the way investigators informed him that the woman set herself ablaze,” a senior judicial source said.
The judicial source said that investigators reviewed the surveillance cameras in the area “and concluded that the woman poured flammable liquid on her body... and set herself on fire”.
“The Criminal Court prosecutor was notified and foul play has been ruled out for the time being,” the judicial source added.
The judicial source added that investigations are ongoing to determine “why the woman set herself on fire”.
