THE manhunt for chemical attack fugitive Abdul Ezedi entered its fifth day with a £20,000 reward being offered amid fears he is receiving help to evade capture.
Metropolitan Police officers have been searching for the 35-year-old since a mother doused with a corrosive alkaline substance suffered potentially life-changing injuries while her daughters, aged three and eight, were also hurt in Clapham.
The 31-year-old woman, known to Afghan refugee Ezedi, remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition.
Detectives released CCTV showing he also suffered injuries to his face shortly after the attack last Wednesday night.
