London: perpetrator of chemical attack probably drowned. The man was suspected of attacking a woman and her two daughters last week in the Clapham area of south London.

He himself had been seriously injured in the face by the substance during the attack. On Friday, Scotland Yard said its main hypothesis was that the man "died" after "entering" the water of the River Thames. The police had launched a real hunt to find Abdul Ezedi, also offering a reward of 20,000 pounds (23,400 euros)
