An 80-year-old woman named Brenda Raymond was found on fire in a communal area of her block of flats in Watford on Monday, November 13. She sustained life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition in the hospital. Police believe a flammable liquid was sprayed on her before she was set on fire. A 33-year-old man from Watford was initially arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life but was later released on bail with strict conditions. Raymond's family described her as "fun-loving and much-loved" and expressed their shock and desperation for answers regarding the attack. They appealed to the public for any information that could help identify the perpetrator.
