Dana Vulin, now 30, has been in and out of treatments and operations since February 2012.
She suffered severe burns to 65 per cent of her body when drug-crazed Natalie Dimitrovska broke into her Perth flat and falsely accused Dana of sleeping with her ex-husband. Edin Handanovic – a man Dana had met only once.
Natalie then doused her in methylated spirits, turning her into a “human fireball”.
“The moment I was on fire, Natalie laughed and ran out of my flat,” says Dana.

The burns were so bad Dana’s neck was fused to her chest. She lay in a coma for weeks, and for months after that remained in intensive care in hospital.
“I made the decision that I wanted to live as soon as I woke from my coma, because I was determined not to let evil win,” she tells us proudly.
And Dana has every reason to be proud – she is an incredible survivor.
Dana, pictured before the attack, was in the prime of her life.
Now, after thousands of needles and over three years wearing a compression suit, Dana’s bravely shown her scars to the world for the first time.
“I’ve come to accept my whole body,” she tells us.
“I think it’s unique and beautiful.”
