A female fugitive who set two women on fire at a bar in Brazil, killing one, has been arrested.

A security camera at the bar in Cotia, Sao Paulo State, caught the incident as it unfolded on 13th January.

The footage opens with victim Juniele Rocha Silva Monteiro pouring a gallon bottle of hand sanitiser over her head in an apparent state of drunkenness.

The 37-year-old can then be seen dancing before squaring up to one of the bar workers, identified as Bruna Regina dos Santos Amador.

Juniele and Amador, 27, push and shove each other before the events take a sinister turn when the latter draws a lighter.

Amador apparently tries to set Juniele, who by this point has taken off her football shirt, on fire several times but to no avail.

She then hands the lighter to her colleague, identified as Francileide Gomes de Souza.

As she crouches down, De Souza, 48, sets light to a puddle of the highly-flammable gel on the bar floor.

Within seconds, flames shoot up Juniele’s legs until her entire body is engulfed in flames.

As she thrashes around in agony, she falls onto Amador, who is also set alight as her workmates try to beat out the flames.

The gruesome footage ends with Juniele still ablaze, running into the bar.

Firefighters tended to Juniele at the scene before she was taken to a hospital in Sao Paulo by air ambulance.

Medics found that she had suffered burns to 80 per cent of her body, as well as kidney failure and lung impairment.

Amador first told the Military Police that Juniele had doused herself in alcohol gel while having a seizure.

Then, according to Amador, she had lit a cigarette and immediately caught fire.

The case was treated as a suicide attempt until three days later, when Juniele’s sister handed the security camera footage from the bar to the police in Carapicuiba.

The police then requested arrest warrants, which were granted by the Judiciary on 19th January.

Amador was arrested in Cotia and remanded in custody in Barueri that day.

On the same day, following a six-day struggle, Juniele died from her injuries in hospital.

She left behind three children, aged 18, 16, and four.

De Souza remained at large until 12th May, when the Military Police were tipped off that she was hiding in a property in Mongagua, Sao Paulo State.

When officers went to arrest her, they were met by De Souza herself, who showed them her sister’s ID card in a bid to evade arrest.

However, when questioned about the incident in Cotia, she cracked and confessed to having gone on the run after committing the crime.

She was arrested, taken to the local police station, and is now in custody awaiting trial.

The motive for the senseless crime is still not clear.
