Acid attack victim Kirstie Trup has spoken of her frustration with the lack of progress to find the men who attacked her in Zanzibar.

Eighteen-year-old Ms Trup told the Sunday Times: “I feel very frustrated and upset that our attackers haven’t been caught.”

Referring to the capital of Zanzibar where the attack took place, she said: “Stone Town is too small for it to be this hard and I fear they will never be caught.”

MsTrup and her friend Katie Gee, both former JFS students, were attacked with battery acid by two men on a moped. They were volunteering as teachers on the small east African island and were on their way out for dinner when the incident took place.
