The remains in question were found on February 19 by a boat crew in the river that runs through London, the city where the man had attacked at the end of the previous month a woman, believed to be his former partner, and her daughters. . . The attack was carried out using acid, and the authorities believed, from the beginning of the manhunt, that the attack was “targeted”.
According to Commander, John Saville, the 31-year-old woman is still in hospital – but is now stable and no longer sedated. At first, the woman found that her life was in danger. The official also said, citing the British press, that the authorities had not yet spoken to her, but would do so soon.
Other people were injured during the attack on Avenida Lesar in the British capital, including customers and some of the family's neighbors who tried to help.
Speaking to Sky News, a friend of the woman who was attacked said she had lost the sight in one eye, and that “she and the girls have a long way to go, physically and mentally.”
According to the same friend, the woman is making “great progress” and looks forward to being with her two daughters, aged three and eight.
