Woman shares horrific ordeal of how her ex-boyfriend crucified her by nailing her to wooden plank and setting her on fire (Photos)

A brave woman has opened up about the abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex-boyfriend who crucified her and set her on fire after she ended their relationship.

In October last year, Oleg Schegolikhin, 33, reportedly ambushed Oksana Kuzmenko, 40, near her home in Yekaterinburg and took her to a car repair workshop where he worked as a welder.

Schegolikhin nailed one of her legs to a wooden plank and corkscrewed a tool into the other leg before igniting her in flames. He later doused the flames but only after she had sustained serious burns, and drove off with the victim to the city of Asbest, to kill and bury her in a forest.

According to The Sun UK, Oksana deliberately crashed the car into another vehicle to save her life. Out of fear, Schegolikhin fled the car as cops arrived at the scene but was detained later that night.

Oksana told the police about the horrifying ordeal as they found her in a “terrible condition”.

She was diagnosed with severe burns to the upper limbs, upper respiratory tract, neck, face, and buttocks. 

She had wounds in her limbs from the nail and “corkscrew” and was in a “grave” condition in hospital. 

Shchegolikhin was sentenced to 12 years in a strict regime penal colony by a Russian court for attempted murder with “extreme cruelty”.

Sadly, Shchegolikhin is unlikely to spend much time in jail as he has volunteered to fight for President Vladimir Putin.

The victim bravely gave evidence in court about the hideous attack in which he beat her for an hour and threatened to kill her.

In court, she said: “He took off my boots. He took my left leg and hammered a nail into it.

“And in my right leg, he took something like a corkscrew and twisted this sharp object into my right leg.

“At the same time, he said that he would kill me. He gave me time until 4am….

“He took out a cigarette and a lighter, and poured petrol. So, I lit up like a candle.

“He took a fire extinguisher but before this, he smoked a cigarette and watched me burning. He tore the burnt skin off my right hand.”
