A 40-year-old man poured caustic acid on his partner’s face and body. The suspect was jailed on Wednesday, September 25, and must appear on Thursday before the Libourne (Gironde) criminal court.
The suspect is due to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. “as part of an urgent appearance procedure on charges of intentional violence against a partner resulting in inability to work for more than eight days,” according to the prosecutor. The forty-year-old was placed in pre-trial detention today pending trial.
According to sources close to the investigation, the suspect sprayed his victims with household products in a village near Libourne.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also called caustic soda, is a chemical that poses a risk of causing skin corrosion or irritation, as well as eye damage.
