“#Memphis Man Allegedly Set His Girlfriend On Fire For Trying To Break Up With Him

A man from Memphis, Tennessee, has been arrested after allegedly setting his girlfriend on fire when she tried breaking up with him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Per DailyMail.com<\/em>, Kenneth Upshaw<\/strong> was charged with attempted second-degree murder on Tuesday after the horrific incident with his partner, Rebecca Briggs<\/strong>, who luckily survived. She was reportedly standing near a vehicle in the driveway of an acquaintance\u2019s house in East Memphis on October 8 when she decided to tell the 38-year-old that she wanted to end things with him. But he app<\/a>arently didn\u2019t take the news<\/a> too well\u2026
<\/span><\/p>\n

According to an affidavit obtained by ABC 24<\/em>, Briggs claimed Upshaw told her that \u201cif he could not be with her, then no one would\u201d before dousing her whole body with gasoline, tossing a lit cigarette at her, and setting her aflame. So beyond f**ked up!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Soon after, the homeowner eventually came out and then reportedly put out the fire with Upshaw. The unnamed homeowner shared to WREG<\/em> that he had no clue what was even happening outside until someone told him there was a fire in the middle of his driveway. He explained:
<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty bad. I mean, it burned the whole back end and part of the back driver\u2019s side and started to get where the gas tank is, and I thought it was going to explode.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As we mentioned before, Briggs miraculously survived the brutal attack and is reportedly in fair condition while recovering in the Regional Medical Center<\/strong>\u2019s burn unit. WREG<\/em> reported that she suffered from second-degree to deep second burns covering her face, neck, chest, and arms. She was truly lucky as it could have, without a doubt, been a lot worse than it turned out to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by the publication, the couple, who share a child together, have a history of domestic violence. In 2019, Upshaw had reportedly punched his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach so hard she had to undergo an emergency c-section and delivered their little one a month before her due date. <\/span>Absolutely disgusting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are wishing Rebecca the best during her lengthy recovery, and we really hope that she is safe after this terrifying ordeal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
