Toronto police identify woman set on fire on TTC bus, upgrade charge against alleged attacker

Toronto police have identified a woman who died in hospital after she was set on fire last month on a city bus.

Nyima Dolma, 28, of Toronto, died last week after the attack at Kipling station, near Kipling Avenue and Dundas Avenue West, at about 12:25 p.m. on June 17.

Tenzin Norbu, 33, was arrested nearby and charged with attempted murder. That charge has now been upgraded to first-degree murder.

Evidently Tibetan like her assailant.
