A little US boy of eight was tied to a tree and burned alive on his birthday. He passed away 13 years later after showing enormous courage and battling for his life every single day. He died from cancer that was
caused by the burns covering his body.
But before Robbie Middleton died, he named the person responsible for ruining his life.
In a video recorded on his deathbed he accused his alleged attacker Don Collins, a 13-year-old neighbour, of raping him two weeks before he was set on fire, reports Source
The little boy was obviously set on fire to ensure his silence.
The 13 years that Robbie lived after being doused with petrol and set ablaze, he underwent 200 surgeries and endless therapy to repair the burns, says the daily.
Unfortunately, the brave boy who battled on for so many years, died just before his 21st birthday.
Collins, who is now 27-year-old, will now be charged for murder.
The Schulenburg Sticker reported that his mother Colleen said during the trial: 'It was so hard to take in what my eyes were seeing.
'All of his hair was scorched, and there was skin hanging around his ankles.
'A little while later, I walked down to the tree where it happened. There was a perfect outline of Robbie’s body scorched into the bark of the tree.'
