Dane Abdool
This is 21-year-old Dane Abdool.
On the 24th of February, 2006, Dane Abdool met with his then 17-year-old girlfriend, Amelia Sookdeo, picking the high-school student up after she snuck out of her bedroom window to meet up with him.
They drove to Dane Abdool’s apartment, where Dane and Amelia drank some alcohol, had some sex, and talked a bit.
Dane Abdool was kind of tired of Amelia Sookdeo. The couple had a pregnancy scare a while back, which would have really slowed down Dane Abdool, the hookup machine.
Fortunately for Dane’s game, Amelia never turned up pregnant, telling Dane that she had gone and had an abortion.
That was enough to sour Dane Abdool on Amelia. Not enough for him to stop sleeping with her again, of course, which led to Amelia claiming to be pregnant again.
But Dane was seeing other girls, one girl in particular, and the constant calls and talks and maintenance required to keep Amelia Sookdeo off his back and on hers were cutting in on his me time.
Dane had told two acquaintances that if they’d kill Amelia Sookdeo, he’d give them $400, but they thought he was just some spoiled rich kid who was joking around and nothing became of it.
But on the night of the 24th, Amelia Dookdeo tried the pregnancy tactic yet another time, reminding Dane Abdool that she thought she might be pregnant again and asking him where their relationship was headed.
They argued about it, yelling back and forth at each other.
And Dane made a decision.
As Dane Abdool was driving Amelia Sookdeo home, at about half past midnight on the 25th of February, he stopped at a gas station and went inside, leaving Amelia in the car.
Dane bought a can of gasoline and some duct tape, got back into his car and drove off.
Instead of dropping Amelia Sookdeo off at her parents’ home, Dane Abdool made a detour, pulling onto the side of County Road 545, about two miles south of Colonial Drive in Winter Garden.
Once there, Dane pulled on some gloves that he had kept from his job at a car shop, secured Amelia’s wrists and legs with duct tape and, after removing the nozzle from the gas can that he’d just bought, walked over to what would have been a terrified young woman.
Dane Abdool stood over his now ex-girlfriend and liberally dowsed the girl from head to toe with gasoline, saturating her clothes, socks and shoes with the highly flammable liquid.
Then, as Amelia was undoubtedly sobbing in fear, Dane Abdool got really close to the girl and lit her on fire.
According to a State Fire Marshall investigator, whoever set Amelia on fire would have had to done so intentionally:
The vapors coming off the gasoline would have been more defused out in the open making it more difficult to ignite. The igniting device would have to be close to the gasoline to spark it.
And ignite it did, while Dane Abdool looked on and watched the girl he had just had sex with a few hours before die.
This used to be what Dane Abdool’s 17-year-old girlfriend, Amelia Sookdeo, looked like.
She is no longer pretty, or alive, thanks to Dane Abdool.
As the flames burned on, Amelia Sookdeo resembled something that had fallen between the grill slats on a July 4th cookout.
His work done, Dane Abdool peeled his gloves off, left them at the scene and drove away to wash his car.
Police responding to a report of a car on fire noticed a small fire that turned out to be the initially unrecognizable body of Amelia Sookdeo.
Once her body was identified, investigators were quickly led to the doorstep of Dane Abdool.
Dane Abdool initially told investigators that he didn’t know anything about what had happened, but when presented with photographs of tire marks taken from the scene, tire marks that matched his own car, Dane confessed and told the police everything.
Despite the confession, when his trial date rolled around, Dane Abdool pled not guilty.
His defense? Well, Dane insisted that he had set his girlfriend on fire on accident.
Because she had threatened him with her pregnancy, he had duct-taped Amelia and poured gasoline on her, and he was just trying to scare her into leaving him alone.
Oh yeah, in an attempt to make the jury see Dane Abdool in something of a sympathetic light, his lawyers insisted that Dane also has a learning disability and low self-esteem.
That would explain a great deal, actually.
Dane Abdool’s defense attorney put psychologist Dr. Karen Gold on the stand to testify that, after examining Abdool, she discovered he has a learning disability and has the reading and math skills of a sixth-grader.
According to Dr. Gold, who I’m sure would never accept money for testimony, said:
He met the criteria for a very, very, very serious mental disorder. Delusional. I found him to be intellectually limited, but not mentally retarded.
Defense attorneys also brought out relatives of Abdool to testify that he had a hard time learning when he was a child growing up in Trinidad.
Prosecutors responded to the “learning disability card” with the “victim inhaled a ball of fire which charred her throat and lungs card” and the “the victim wasn’t pregnant card.”
Jurors felt the prosecutor’s hand was the better one. It only took jurors four hours to come back with a guilty verdict for Mr. Dane Abdool, who showed no emotion when the judge read the verdict to him.
Dane Abdool is eligible for the death penalty.
If he’s sentenced to die, you can be sure he won’t be set on fire.

This man should be set on fire. Hammurabi’s Law, BITCH! FIRST!
How awful. That poor girl, she was so young and looks so pretty, with such a nice smile. I hope she died quickly and didn’t suffer overmuch. I wish they’d hang up pictures of her charred corpse in Dane Abdool’s cell so he’ll have to be reminded what he did for the rest of his life. Learning disability, low self esteem, my ass. I’ve got both and I’ve never burned anyone alive.
What a sick fucker. He looks like a piece of shit, just look at him! She was way too good looking for him. Obviously she waasn’t smart about it though. =0( Poor poor girl!
I’d be willing to bet five million dollars that the day we stop letting ‘diminished capacity’, and every other form of sudden mental illness, retardation or ‘learning disability’ as a ‘get out of prison free’ card, will be the same day all the murdering POSs stop claiming that.
It’s the fucking ‘excuse du jour’.
It absoeffinlutely amazes me that some men refuse to use condoms
(boohoo, yeah, I came, but it wasn’t as good of a cum as it would have been without a condom. I don’t want to use condoms, because even though I still get off, It’s not as good as the thrill of possibly impregnating my partner)
And yet STILL claim that their partner got pregnant ‘on purpose’, to trap them.
Hey, loser. Get online and google human anatomy. In particular, ejaculation and ovulation. Oh, you have a learning disability? Can’t google? I’m going to guess you aren’t retarded enough to not be able to find all the porn sites. Just retarded enough to get off a murder rap.
Any man who refuses to use a condom, and any woman who doesn’t insist on it, by karma is GOING to result in a pregnancy, sooner or later. Then you get to experience the magical land of BabyMommas and Babydaddies, and most likely, the death of the baby you both created.
In my personal experience, men who refuse to use condoms because it takes a tiny edge off the maximum orgasm they might have are also not very likely to care much about getting their partner off.
Men who are thoughtful enough to insist on using condoms generally are more interested in pleasing their partner. Feeling safe because your partner cares enough to use protection probably has something to do with the higher orgasm rate.
I am tired of hearing about so many pregnant women being killed by their inseminator. If you don’t want your woman to get pregnant, use a fucking condom, no matter what other kind of contraception you THINK she might be using. And if you don’t want to be a babymomma, don’t fucking have sex with anyone who will not use a condom, even if you are on birth control.
Common sense people, common sense.
Oh, boohoo. Condoms really impact sensations during sex. Sniff. Not to worry- you can just kill the bitch later if you think you knocked her up? What a great tradeoff! Well, unless you get convicted of murdering the person you thought you knocked up. Bad luck, dude.
If you’d just use a condom, you could avoid the whole binding, dousing with gasoline, and torching of the loser you thought you’d impregnated. Oh, and the whole getting convicted and going to prison bit.
Condoms sound pretty good compared to those outcomes.

Reminds me of a story I heard awhile back about this new form of birth control for people who don’t like standard forms of birth control… it’s a little pill you hold between your knees…
lolI haven’t heard that one in a long time. Too bad Dane’s mom did practice some form of BC, either before or after the POS was born.
Diminished capacity my ass. The only thing diminished about this loser was his humanity. I don’t like giving my diabetic cat his insulin shots because I’m afraid of hurting him. Maybe that makes me a wimp, but after reading about sparky here, I’m feeling pretty good about it.

looks pretty good…. are you sure you changed permissions on the admin folder so no one can pick up any pretty pieces of the site?
I am on the new server, but for some reason it is taking forever to load…
And this guy deserves to be burnt like his victim.
Sometimes PYSIH hangs a bit because of all the crap JD has on it that has to load/query remote servers.
As far as network performance on the new server, we only have two sites on the box, and it should be much better, but that’s not saying that there won’t be occasional problems due to the network we’re on or other boxes on the same switch getting bursts.
Regardless of the occasional hiccup, it should blow that $7/month shared box PYSIH was on out of the water.
New site looks good. Normally, I’m a lurker, not a poster, but eh – the regulars here are too great.
Now I’m all against a woman “oopsing” a man – which sounds like what she was trying to do, with the repeated pregnancy scares and all. After all, if she wasn’t pregnant, why on earth would she tell him that she was – again?
Still, *no matter what,* that doesn’t make what he did excusable, even if she was the most Entrapment-Minded of Entrappers – ever. He may have set his girlfriend ablaze, but he’s the one who’ll be burning. (I don’t believe in Hell, but I do for damn sure believe that we’re held accountable for our actions – whether in this world or the next.)
he got a death sentence. Pity his suffering won’t be like his girlfriend’s.
Well Gorybug and a few others –
It loks like some of our well thought posts are in electronic never never land, so now we can run for office!
Anyway some great insights were posted and I hope to see such reposted later or elsewhere.
I agree that this girl was WAY too pretty for this ugly mf. WTF do girls see in these guys anyway?!? I mean, looks don’t mean a whole lot, but damn, this guy looks evil and stupid and all that. Oh wait, he is claiming to be stupid, now I get it. Boy, the more I read about these losers getting off by claiming to be retarded, the madder I get. I read an article about the police man in Ohio that killed his pregnant girlfriend and unborn child and he did NOT get the death penalty. Hell, he didn’t even get life without parole so yeah, this POS will be walking around amongst us good people in oh about 57 years or less. Give me a freaking break!!
My comment was deleted so I don’t know if I was being too offensive or if it was the new site layout or if I accidently hit the back button. This guy was depraved enough to set his girlfriend on fire and stand there and watch her burn all because he wanted to fuck around and she was cramping his style. He could have found a simpler more humane solution to his problem instead of resorting to this like a condom or breaking up with the girl. I’m glad he got the death penalty, not that it will be a much of a deterrant for similar minded pieces of shit. Unfortunately he will never suffer the way his victim did.
There’s an easy way to pretty much guarantee all the free tail you want, without all the drama of knocking one of your many girlfriends up and pissing off your ‘main’ girlfriend or wife.
It’s called a vasectomy, and considering all the wonderful benefits it brings, I do not understand why more men don’t voluntarily go get one. For crissakes, it means you can string along your idjit girlfriend (or one-night fucks) for years, even if they are “the most Entrapment-Minded of Entrappers”.
And, for the wussies who can’t take an out-patient, less than dental surgery procedure (back to work in a day)… the US now has the ‘morning-after’ pill over the counter in almost every pharmacy (it’s actually a ‘within 3-5 day after pill- yay!), or after one month, many women’s clinics offer the RU486 pill as an alternative to a surgical abortion.
So, torching your maybe-preggo piece of ass isn’t really mandatory anymore, y’know?

I believe hat some of these comments were lost to the server switch. Oh well.
This POS definately shines up real good.
I should stop goofing off here and get back to work – the defense attys. cost money, a lot of money.
I have 3 cats and one definately is mentally slow, clumsy, etc… If this cat were a person, I can not see her being anything more than a troublesome kid.
Evil on the other hand can reside anywhere. Smart, stupid, sane, crazy, black, white – it does not matter. For lack of total knowledge, I think that this POS was trying to burn the gloves as well. Kinda like he was doing a small scale Cheshire CT.
So now this shiny POS is going to get free meals, medical, housing, concern for his religious beliefs by the government, etc… for how many years while we have soldiers overseas with fmailies barely making ends meet being told that they are not allowed to pray on government time…..
Lets see – burn a fellow citizen (that happens to love you in an “annoying manner) get free food, medical, shelter, best defense attys. etc

Go to a hostile country where a group of people hate you more than they vakue their own life, yet are too cowardly as to meet you face to face. Mistake someone who merely hates you for someone who wants to kill you and end up in big trouble!
Dane Abdool deserves to go to hell for what he has done. However, I seriously differ for everyones opnion to put him to death. He was by no means a harden criminal, we should reserve the death penalty for them. We would be no different them him if we do things on impulse and revenge.. eye for an eye tactics.
Shaik Saleem,
How hard of a criminal do you have to be to set someone you had sexual relations with, and who you believed to be pregnant with your own offspring, on fire?
I think capital punishment should be reserved for extreme cases. If you’re 3 times the legal alcohol limit and you kill 5 people, I defintely think that’s a capital crime. If you kill two or more people, and attempt to hide or dispose of their bodies in any way other than turning yourself in, I think you should possibly face capital punishment. If you participate in rape or the sexual predation of children under the age of 14, I think capital punishment should be on the table at your trial. If you torture your victim to death or before you execute them, you deserve the death penalty.
Under that criteria, I think that an adult, who had sex with a minor and then killed her with fire and gasoline deserves the death penalty.
Jeffrey Dahlmer deserved the death penalty. He ate and made furniture out of his victims. See how this works? The truly depraved deserve death, don’t you think?
Being STUPID is NOT A DEFENSE! Like his OWN shrink said he is NOT Mentally retarded!
usually i say death penalty, but this time send him to jail and let the lifers deal with him…. or send him back to trinidad, his fellow country men would be so ashamed they’d finish him off before his feet ever touched the ground of trinidad!!!!
Well she is in hell for telling a lie
and he will probably go to hell, but he will ask God for forgiveness and will be saved, And won’t go to hell.
WTF? And what have you been toking on this morning?
Remember, thou shall not troll

An article in the paper saying that Abdool has been sentenced to death gives a statement from his lawyer stating “the decision was expected but I’m not really sure my client has fully grasped the enormity of the sentence”.
Another ploy to play the “diminished capacity” card? Nice try. Abdool won’t grasp the enormity of his sentence right away, and he will never grasp the enormity of the atrocious crime he committed against Amelia. Not because of diminished capacity but because he has no conscience, which is an all too familiar affliction of our youth today and our society in general. A person with no conscience does not feel guilt or remorse. They simply do not care. At all. About anything other than themselves. Completely narcissistic, they drift along in life with a human face masking an empty void, taking all that they can from others never giving anything in return. If something stands in their way, simply eliminate it, or immolate it, in the case of this dirtbag. Scary stuff, don’t you think? The right name for them is “monster”. When Abdool will grasp the enormity of his sentence is when he is being strapped down for his altogether much too humane lethal injection, at which time you can be sure he will be drooling and crying NOT out of remorse for subjecting that young girl to a horrific and tremendously painful death we could never fully imagine but in self-pity because he did not get away with it.
Who was the IDIOT who voted “NO” on the vote? This guy doesn’t deserve Hell?????? I’d like to come over and convince you to change your vote!
Spank ‘em into oblivion with your high-heeled stilettos!
ya know whats scary. I went to High School with this kid.
