Medical student put on a fat suit and disguised himself as a Black woman to throw acid on his ex-girlfriend, disfiguring her for life
A man disguised himself to throw acid at the face of his ex-girlfriend without being caught.
An extensive investigation led police to Milad Rouf, 25.
The victim, a junior doctor, testified that she could not close her eyes and was traumatized by the event.
A man who disguised himself as a woman to throw acid over his ex-girlfriend has been jailed for 15 years.
On October 7, Milad Rouf, 25, a former medical student, was sentenced after pleading guilty to count 1 of applying a corrosive fluid with intent on May 20, 2021.
Rouf, from Cardiff, used a costume to disguise himself as a Black woman of a larger build and went to the home of his ex-girlfriend, a junior doctor, in Brighton, Sussex, southern England. When she opened the door he handed her a note and as she read it threw sulphuric acid in her face.
The acid was so concentrated it scorched the paintwork off Alaoui's front door, The Guardian reported.
A criminal investigation led Sussex Police to search Rouf's home. It revealed a shopping list detailing what he needed for his costume, as well as the costume itself.

(1,945 posts)In the Daily Mail article there is a quote from the young woman's neighbor:
He said: 'I went out at about 9pm yesterday to get some bits from the shop and there was a plastic box with a printed note inside that said 'acid attack kit'.'
Is this something that the attacker made and put the note with the acid so, what, he wouldn't forget what it was??? Just an everyday thing, like a make up kit, or tire repair kit. Acid attack kit. It's of no real importance but that struck me as so weird.
I'll bet he thought he was real smart with his stupid disguise, that he'd never be caught. What a loser, I hope he suffers every minute of his 15yrs.

This appears to be a case of someone not being as smart as they think they are.

Acid attacks happen across the world and it affects women disproportionally. Although it is also unacceptable when acid violence occurs against men, acid violence is a form of violence that has a disproportionate impact on women. It reflects and perpetuates discrimination of women and girls in society, as such it is prohibited by international law. However, all too often its a crime that goes unreported and unpunished: survivors of acid attacks live in fear of reprisals for reporting the attack.
Females get the lions share of harm world-wide.

So if it affected males and females equally it would not be prohibited under international law?
