Alkali attack suspect Abdul Ezedi drowned, police have confirmed.
Ezedi’s body was recovered from the River Thames on Monday and has now been formally identified following a post-mortem examination, the Metropolitan Police said.
His former girlfriend, a mother-of-two who was doused with a corrosive chemical in a harrowing attack on her and her young children in Clapham last month, is now in a stable condition and no longer sedated, the force added.
On Friday, Commander Jon Savell said: “As the public would expect, our enquiries continue into this atrocious attack.
“We have still not been able to speak to her but hope to as soon as she is well enough.”
