From actually reading the piece, this headline is wrong. It should read "Gang-raped 14 year old was burned alive then cut to pieces"

Which actually makes more sense

For transparency, it says that she was alive when she was burned, and the body was recovered from more than one location and this made the investigation harder.

So I have then concluded that she was burned alive and then cut to pieces, rather than cut to pieces alive and then burned.

Glad we cleared that up.

isn't that worse? i heard being burnt hurts more than being cut.

Yeah, it's supposed to be the worst pain

It's not. Drowning is way worse. When you burn (I'm sure it's insanely awful at first) your nerve endings are destroyed fairly quickly and that stops pain. I'm not saying burning alive isn't horrific, but pain wise drowning is worse.

I dunno why, but I've never imagined drowning as being painful before

Yeah it's not intuitive. I forget the details but it's supposed to be excruciating
