Met Police believe Abdul Ezedi, the suspect who allegedly threw acid on a mother and her 3-year-old child in South London, has drowned in River Thames after they reviewed surveillance footage across the capital.

Detectives have revealed that Ezedi, 35, was last seen on CCTV footage crossing the Chelsea Bridge on the night of the attack on January 31 and never reappearing, leading them to believe he jumped into the River Thames, The Times reports.
