A woman was left devastated when her dad covered her in petrol and tried to set her alight - after she turned to him for help during a bad break up. Stacy Brooks, 31, and her dad, Mark Brooks, 61, had only just reconnected after 20 years of estrangement when the attack took place.
Despite taking her into his home in Pitsmoor, Sheffield, in July 2021, when she "needed him the most" Stacy claims her dad became "angry" about her new partner - who she has since split from. After a row on the phone - about her ex and money - Mark stormed around to where his daughter was staying and after beating her up, covered her in a mix of petrol and another flammable fluid.

''I never really even thought about him until I was left with nowhere to go after a break-up and a family member suggested I could reconnect with him. I thought 'why not?' as I'd always craved
