33-Year-Old Mother Commits Suicide 12 Years After Horrific Acid Attack

A Pakistani former dancing girl has decided to end it all.



She decided to commit suicide 12 years after being heavily facially disfigured by acid bath.



Fakhra Younus, 33, leapt to her death from a sixth floor building in Rome 12 years after the acid attack which she said left her looking 'not human'.



At the time of her attack in May 2000, her ex-husband Bilal Khar was the man accused of entering her mother's house and pouring acid over Younus's face as she slept.



The attack, which took place in front of Younus's then five-year-old son, left her unable to breathe and fighting for life.



Her nose was almost completely melted and she has since undergone 39 separate surgical procedures to repair her disfigured face over the past decade.



The horrific attack also burned off her hair, fused her lips, blinded her in one eye, destroyed her left ear and melted her breasts.



After being rushed to hospital she said, 'My face is a prison to me', while her distraught young son said at the time, 'This is not my mother'.
