British police announced that they thought the body found in London’s River Thames belonged to a man who was wanted for using a corrosive substance to attack a mother and her small children.
The Metropolitan Police said said they were looking for Abdul Shokoor Ezedi after a woman and her two daughters, aged eight and three, were attacked on the evening of Jan 31 in Clapham, south London, in a “horrific” incident, leaving them in hospital with possibly life-changing injuries.
Three other women and one man who came to their aid suffered minor burn injuries, and five police officers who responded were also injured.
