Three people were burned to death in Changchun, Jilin province, after a man doused his girlfriend in gasoline and set her alight during an argument.

The woman had been trying to stop her live-in lover playing cards with other men in a cabin on Sunday night when he attacked her.

She died at the scene, while the boyfriend later died of his injuries at a local hospital. Firefighters also found the body of another man inside a connecting cabin where the fire had spread.
