Acid attack victim offers hope to London teenagers

A woman from Wimbledon - who was the victim of an acid attack 30 years ago - has offered hope and support to the two teenage girls recently targeted in Zanzibar. Lynn Pereira had to undergo more than 140 operations, after a gallon of acid was thown in her face.

She's been describing how the attack on Londoners Kirstie Trup and Katie Gee has brought back painful memories but that she now feels that she is a 'victor'. Ruth Banks has been speaking to her.
