Man left blind, badly disfigured after girlfriend pours half a litre of acid on him while he was sleeping
An acid attack victim who was left blinded and badly disfigured after his then-girlfriend poured half a litre of 96% pure sulphuric acid on him while he was sleeping is now suing the police claiming they could have prevented the attack.
31-year-old Daniel Rotariu is filing a lawsuit against the Leicestershire Police claiming they were aware Katie Leong was planning to carry out the July 2016 attack but didn't intervene or do anything to stop her.
Leong schemed with former boyfriend Mark Cummings to murder Rotariu. She poured the acid on Rotariu for six seconds, leaving him in a coma and fighting for his life for six weeks. Furthermore, he had to spend the next six months at the hospital and was left blind, and with severe burns and facial disfigurement.
