Mystery over drunk burning couple (Tennessee)

Officers responded to a call reporting a man on fire in Harriman, Tennessee on Tuesday, only to discover the couple severely burned and, apparently, drunk.

The 62-year-old man refused to answer any of the officer's questions, while the woman insisted that 'the lawn mower had blown up' - despite the fact that there wasn't a lawn mower at the scene, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.

Officers found a can of petrol, a lighter and a cigarette butt on the front porch of the house.

A neighbour initially told police that he had seen the couple dousing each other with petrol and setting each other on fire, but then recanted his statement, saying only that he'd spotted flames and gone to help.

The couple were both taken to local hospitals for treatment. No charges have yet been filed.
