Psycho burns and kills his girlfriend at Bayswater Safeway petrol station in front of on-lookers.

A 41-year-old Bayswater North man remains in hospital under police guard following his arrest yesterday in dramatic circumstances.

Motorists yesterday braved flames and threats in a desperate bid to rescue a woman who was being burned to death at a petrol station.

Ignoring a knife-wielding man's chilling warning they should "let her burn", they made a vain bid to save her life.

Truckie Beau Flemming, 26, couldn't believe the horror he saw unfold.

"She was a flame ball," Mr Flemming said. "Even movies - they're nothing to what I've seen this morning."

The Bayswater North woman, 42, who was also stabbed, died in The Alfred hospital last night.
