According to a reliable source, Stanley Obi was at his home in New Beith, in Brisbane’s southern suburbs, just before 3am on Thursday, March 10, when his ex Sarah Mudge, 31, broke into the house, stormed into his bedroom and doused him and his new lover with petrol, before setting them on fire.
According to Queensland Police, Sarah tried to set Mr Obi and his new lover on fire while his three young children were in the house.
Mr Obi’s new girlfriend, 30, escaped with burns to her airway along with all three children – aged five, three and two.
Mr Obi’s burning body was dragged from the burning building by a hero neighbour known as Al.

Al stayed with Obi, who suffered burns to 90 per cent of his body, until an ambulance came 35 minutes later.
Obi later died as a result of high degree of burns he suffered.
Obi, a professional nurse, was aware that his burns were life-threatening and voiced his fear that he wont survive.
“He said to me, ‘I’m not going to make it, I’m going to die, I’m going to die, you need to help me. Help me,” the neighbour recalled.
“He was giving me his hand, reaching out to me to hold it, and I wasn’t going to hold his hand because I know about infection control.”
