Acid victim Naomi Oni's alleged attacker finallynabbed. It was her friend!

21 year old acid victim Naomi Oni was disfigured
for life after an unknown person wearing a Niqāb
threw acid in her face as she walked home from
work on Sunday December 30th 2012 in Lodge
Avenue Dagenham, east London, (If you missed
qit, read about it HERE)
Naomi only described her attacker as a woman
wearing an Islamic veil. Over a year later, police
has been able to identify the person behind the
veil. It was her jealous 21 year old friend, Mary
Konye.

According to new reports released by police and
tendered in court, Mary, a student at Hertfordshire
university, disguised herself in a Niqāb, which
showed only her eyes and closely followed Naomi
home and allegedly poured the acid on her when
they got to a deserted area. She fled the scene
immediately after.
Naomi suffered horrific burns on her face and
chest and was left scarred for life. Continue...
Mary Konye, who has since been arrested and
facing trial, had been Naomi's friend since
secondary school. Mary had always been jealous
of Naomi, the court heard, and when they fought
Mary decided she wanted Naomi disfigured for life
and attacked her with acid.
Naomi Oni's lawyer said in court today:
'Naomi will tell you about her friendship with
the defendant. In particular she will tell you
how in the past they had an up and down
relationship and how the defendant had
admitted to her that on one occasion in anger
she threatened to throw acid at Naomi.
'There was a reason why the defendant
would have chosen to make such an unusual
sort of threat. In the past the two of them had
discussed a young woman called Katie Piper.
'She was a woman who had acid thrown at
her and that attack had been reported in the
media.
'Naomi and the defendant had discussed this
and it appears that the defendant knew that
Naomi had been particularly moved by Katie
Piper’s ordeal.
'Naomi stated that she and the defendant
had fallen out in the past and says that there
was an occasion during a row when she
called the defendant ugly.
'She says that they were later back on
speaking terms and importantly, that the
defendant said to her that she (the
defendant) had been so angry at the time that
she had said to someone else, a friend of the
defendant’s called Kamilah Andrews, that
she (the defendant) wanted to throw acid at
Naomi.
'Naomi believed that the defendant had
realised just how upset she had been by
Katie Piper’s horrible ordeal.'
'She could not see the face of the person,
just the light-brown coloured skin around the
eyes. She believed it was a female. The
woman was staring at her.
'All of a sudden Naomi felt a liquid being
thrown into her face. She screamed and
immediately felt her face burning. She could
smell her skin and hair burning. She
immediately ran home.
Mary Konye denies pouring acid on Naomi. The
trial continues...
