A Brooklyn fiend repaid the kindness of an elderly woman who hired him for odd jobs by first stealing from her — and then burning her alive when she fired him, police said yesterday.

“I hope he burns in hell!” the victim’s stricken daughter, Sheila Gillespie Hillsman, 49, fumed to pals on Facebook.

DA CALLS FIEND'S ACTION 'BRUTAL MURDER'

Accused sadistic killer Jerome “Jerry’’ Isaac, 47, was reeking of gasoline when he turned himself in to cops more than eight hours after the horrific torching of tragic 73--year-old churchgoer Delores Gillespie.

Cops said Isaac was furious that the postal clerk had refused to pay him for some of the work he’d done at her Prospect Heights apartment after she discovered he’d swiped her kitchenware and DVD player.

Looks like Jerrys face met the pavement repeatedly and hard.

I can’t tell if his face has burns or if he fell down a flight of stairs at the police station say.... uh, ten times?

There is a scene in "The Longest Yard" that takes place in a blazing prison cell.

Hopefully that will give a few of his fellow inmates some ideas.

Actually he singed his own face when he set the poor woman on fire - at least that’s what other articles say.

Crimes like this, where guilt does not need to be established by a jury, should result in immediate hanging.

What’s the story on this building? Is it a dump? Is it a condo? An apartment building? Is it rent control? Some guy who works for AP lives there so it can’t be that bad. Yet the woman is an ex postal clerk with mental issues.

"DA CALLS FIEND'S ACTION 'BRUTAL MURDER'"

So what is this DA going to about this horrible crime? Give the perpetrator "life imprisonment"? I bet he's found to be insane, not criminally responsible and then given ten to fifteen years in the pyscho ward, living off the people people of NY, then released after everyone has forgotten about the creep and his crime. See, there's real justice in NY.

I’m betting an ‘eye for an eye’ executions would deter crime better than the painless methods that are used.

Sounds like he "fired" her right back.
