Police hunting the man who threw acid over television presenter Katie Piper believe he may have left the country 10 weeks ago.
Officers are seeking Stefan Sylvestre, 34, after he was recalled to jail for breaching his licence conditions, and say “inquiries undertaken so far indicate” he left the UK on August 2. Scotland Yard, who were notified on September 23 that Sylvestre had been recalled, say he should not be approached.
His last known address was in north London. Sylvestre was given a life sentence in 2009 for the attack and was told he must serve a minimum of six years before he would be eligible for parole.
