Sentence: 14 years imprisonment
Esther Afrifa, 28, from Wembley, northwest London, bought a litre of sulphuric acid online and attacked her boyfriend, Kelvin Pogo, on December 22, 2019, by pouring it on his chest while he slept, due to her mistaken belief that he was having an affair. She carried out a second attack hours later, pouring more acid on his face and torso as he lay on the sofa, causing extensive burns and permanent injuries. Afrifa attempted to prevent him from seeking medical help by pretending to call emergency services, blocking his friends, and trying to make him drink acid disguised as water.
