A man has been charged with grievous bodily harm following an acid attack that left victims with life-changing injuries.
John Tomlin, 24, will appear before Thames magistrates court on Tuesday to face two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent, police have said.
Resham Khan and her cousin Jameel Muhktar were attacked by a suspect, who threw acid through their car window on Khan’s 21st birthday on 21 June in Beckton, east London.
Tomlin, of Canning Town, entered an east London police station on Sunday and handed himself in.
Both victims suffered horrific face and neck injuries in the attack that took place while they waited at traffic lights.
In the days afterwards, Khan said: “I’m devastated. I keep wondering if my life will ever be the same.”
Mukhtar, who was initially placed in an induced coma, said he feels “emotionally wrecked” and “in continuous pain”.
Scotland Yard said inquiries into the incident were continuing.
