Thames Search for Body of Clapham Chemical Attack Suspect Abdul Shokoor Ezedi

Metropolitan Police are set to search the River Thames for the body of Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, the suspect in the Clapham chemical attack, after CCTV footage showed him pacing and leaning over Chelsea Bridge before disappearing from view. Ezedi is suspected of dousing a mother and her daughters with an alkaline substance and is believed to have gone into the water near the bridge on the night of the attack. Police have warned that the fast-flowing and snag-filled river may prevent Ezedi's body from surfacing. Ezedi, who had been in a relationship with the injured woman, is wanted on suspicion of attempted murder, and police have been targeting his associates in their inquiries.
