TIMES ONLINE: Two men have appeared in court after the suspected lover of a married Muslim woman had acid thrown in his face and was stabbed twice in the back in a possible “honour attack”.
The woman was warned that her own “wellbeing may be in danger”, a source at Scotland Yard told The Times.
Detectives have been told that the man and woman were not in a sexual relationship but were just friends. However, their relationship is said to have upset her family.
The 24-year-old Asian victim, believed to be from Denmark, is in a critical but stable condition in a specialist burns unit in Essex. He has lost part of his tongue, been left blind in one eye and has 50 per cent burns and fractures to his face after being attacked in Leytonstone, East London, on July 2. >>> Adam Fresco, Crime Correspondent | Thursday, July 23, 2009
