A man has been charged with attempted murder over an attack in which a 29-year-old woman was tied up and allegedly doused with an accelerant and set alight in a Cannington home last week.
Cui Ling Tao suffered third-degree burns to 60 per cent of her body, mostly to her head, upper body and legs.
The 32-year-old Beckenham man was taken to Kensington police station for questioning today and has since been charged with a string of offences.
It is not known if it was the same man that police had earlier quizzed and released without charge shortly after Ms Tao had been discovered.
Firefighters found her after extinguishing flames in her burning Brinkley Street unit on December 21.
The unit’s entry, kitchen and a bedroom were ablaze and it was reported that Ms Tao had been found tied to a bed.
Police interviewed a 31-year-old man and released him without charge 24 hours later.
Ms Tao’s family at the time was making arrangements to fly to Perth from China to be by her hospital bed, where she lay in an induced coma at Royal Perth Hospital’s intensive care unit after undergoing critical surgery.
Ms Tao had been working in a Perth office after graduating as an overseas student and gaining Australian residency.
Kensington detectives questioned a number of people living at the address, also believed to be international students or workers, at the time.
They also investigated reports from neighbours that there was a dispute at or near the home earlier in the morning.
The Beckenham man will face charges of aggravated robbery with violence, rendering a person incapable of resisting, attempted murder, criminal damage by fire and stealing a motor vehicle in the East Perth Magistrate’s Court tomorrow.
