DEAR God, not again. It was the thought that crossed all our minds when news broke of yet another woman burned to death allegedly by her estranged partner. Kelly Wilkinson, 27, should have spent this week filling lunch boxes, brushing messy hair and doing school drop offs with her three children aged under nine. Her generous kind-heartedness and smiling blue eyes should still be spreading warmth among her family and friends. Kelly Wilkinson was burned alive in her backyard. Picture: Facebook It was the second day back to school after the Easter holidays. Her sobbing children crouched nearby watching her die.
