Jealous Wife Jailed For Throwing Acid At A Waitress To Make Her Less Beautiful

A jealous wife who threw an acid in the face of a young waitress working at her husband's restaurant has been jailed for nine years. 

Sau Lin-Hin, 48, mixed caustic soda with water and threw it on Zhijian Zhang because she wanted to make her look 'less attractive'. 

The 22-year-old - also known as Jackie - suffered life changing injuries to her right arm, shoulder, chest and the right side of the face. 

She was also lucky not to lose her sight, Portsmouth Crown Court, Hants, heard. 

The attack happened at the Royal China restaurant in Sandown, Isle of Wight, and Ms Zhang was rushed to a specialist hospital in London for treatment. 

In a victim impact statement, Ms Zhang said she had also been disfigured on parts of her body not directly affected by burns as surgeons had used other areas for skin grafts.
