Star Wars Fans Critically Injured from "lightsabres"

[gaara]

A funfight with homemade lightsabres has left two Star Wars fans fighting for their lives after their "toys" exploded.

Mark Webb, 20, and an unnamed 17-year-old girl filled fluorescent light tubes with petrol to recreate the famous lightsabres and filmed their mock battle in woodland at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, on Sunday evening.

But tragedy struck when one of the lightsabres exploded and the pair were rushed to hospital.

A spokeswoman for Hertfordshire Police said that a third person present at the incident had been questioned and their videotape had been found nearby.

She added: "A 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead suffered serious injuries. They have been transferred to a specialist burns unit in Chelmsford, Essex, and are still critically ill in hospital.

"At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant were found at the scene."
