Burnt, Swindled... & Now Stalked By A Crazed Fan
Woman's Day Australia|January 21, 2019

When Dana Vulin told her burns story on TV, she never imagined it would start a viewer’s five-year obsession that had her fearing for her life once again.

Burnt, Swindled... & Now Stalked By A Crazed Fan

Dana Vulin’s life journey is a stoic tale of remarkable bravery and survival. The successful self-employed businesswoman will never forget the early hours of February 16, 2012 when she became victim to a heinous attack, which changed her life forever.

So horrific was her ordeal it made global headlines. Asleep on the couch of her Perth apartment, the then-25-year-old woke to the sound of an intruder in her home who’d forced their way in through the sliding doors at the back of her unit.

Across the other side of the lounge stood Natalie Dimitrovska, dressed in black, arms crossed and glaring at her soon-to-be victim.

The drug-fuelled woman launched into a verbal attack, accusing Dana of having an affair with her ex-husband Edin Handanovic. The estranged wife was said to be desperate to get back with her husband, who Dana had met once in the past.

She’d already bombarded the beautiful blonde with abusive calls threatening to “ruin her pretty face” and that night, in a jealous rage, doused helpless Dana in methylated spirits and turned her into a human torch.

HORRIFIC BURNS

Dana was placed in an induced coma in hospital, and covered head-to-toe in bandages to treat horrific burns that smothered 64 per cent of her slender frame.
