An eyewitness has described how screams rang out on a residential street as she tried to save a woman who was on fire.
Emergency services had been called to the residential East Street in Bury at around 7.30pm on Friday evening, where they discovered a 31-year-old woman who had suffered 'severe' burns.
She was taken to hospital but, despite emergency staff's best efforts, died a short time later.
Three men aged 34, 24 and 26 have been arrested in connection with the incident.
All three remain in custody for questioning today.
Shaista Farzeen, 33, who was one of the first on the scene, says the nightmarish images have been forever imprinted into her memory.

'We heard screaming and ran out,' she said, adding that neighbours rushed to help the woman who was on fire when she came out of the house.
'I couldn't leave her. I stayed with her. I didn't care how long it took.
