"Police Suspect Clapham Chemical Attack Suspect Died in Thames"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com
Police believe that the suspect in the Clapham chemical attack, Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, may have died in the River Thames after going missing on the night of the attack. CCTV footage shows him walking towards the Thames and leaning over Chelsea Bridge before disappearing from sight. Despite extensive searches, no body has been found, and police consider his death the most probable outcome. Ezedi, an Afghan refugee with a history of criminal convictions, is wanted on suspicion of attempted murder after an alkali substance was thrown at a mother and her two children. The mother remains hospitalized, and concerns have been raised about her potential loss of sight in one eye.
