22-year-old Mary Konye who was found guilty of throwing acid in the face of her friend Naomi Oni while disguised in a Muslim veil has been jailed.
Business student, Mary Konye attacked Naomi Oni, a Victoria’s Secret shop assistant over a “trivial, insignificant” argument after following her home from work.
Following the incident which took place in East London on December 30, 2012, Ms. Oni was left scarred for life after suffering serious burns on her face and chest.
Konye was sentenced to 12 years in prison as consequences for her “deliberate” and “wicked act have been devastating to Miss Oni” according to the Judge.
Oni who was left traumatized by the incident has to undergo series of reconstructive surgery as she was badly burned and is ‘permanently disfigured’.
