Speaking to ITV News, Naomi was angry during the days immediately after the attack, accusing her of disfiguring herself and claiming officers initially questioned whether she had poured the liquid on herself.

CCTV footage was shown in court of Konye, who was jailed last week for 12 years, following Ms Oni from her workplace to her home in Dagenham.

Speaking of her attacker, the 22-year-old said: "I don't know what's wrong with her, I had sympathy for her, I loved her as a friend and loved her from the bottom of my heart."
