A young woman has died after she set fire to herself when her mum hid her mobile phone to stop her from calling her boyfriend.
The woman, who has been named as 20-year-old D Hashini Piumika, poured kerosene over her body and set it alight in Puttalam, Sri Lanka.
According to national news outlet Dinamina, Hashini was seeing a man who her mum did not approve and she refused to end the relationship.

According to the outlet, on August 20 a fierce argument broke out between the mum and daughter as Hashini begged her to give her back her mobile to no avail.
