London: perpetrator of chemical attack probably drowned. On Friday, Scotland Yard said its main hypothesis was that the man "died" after "entering" the water of the River Thames.

Abdul Ezedi, 35, residing in the Newcastle region (north-east of England), is suspected of having sprayed his former partner, 31, and her two young daughters, with an “ alkaline” substance. He himself had been seriously injured in the face by the substance during the attack.
