Crazy World!!! CCTV images shown to jurors show victim Naomi Oni, right, being followed by a woman in a niqab

Stalked: CCTV images shown to jurors show victim Naomi Oni, right, being followed by a woman in a niqab, alleged to be her friend Mary Konye who then doused her in acid


Naomi suffered horrific burns when she was attacked by a woman wearing a veil on her way home from work at Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford, east London, on December 30 2012.
Her face, arms, chest and thigh suffered blistering burns and she had to undergo a series of gruelling skin graft operations.
Miss Oni sobbed as she told the court she thought someone was trying to kill her when the acid was thrown over her face.
She only noticed a 'presence' following her as she turned into the road where the attack took place, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.
Giving evidence she said: 'I turned to my left and there I saw someone in black attire, a black niqab.
'I remember it facing me and staring directly looking at me.
'It was long and black and covered and I could only see the eyes - the face wasn't visible.
'I remember the reflection of the eyes, I remember them being bright and I could see them strongly.'
Asked if she knew the person had been following her from Stratford, Ms Oni replied: 'Not at all.'
