(35 minutes later)
A woman has been jailed for nine years for an acid attack which left her 22-year-old victim seriously burned. A "jealous" woman has been jailed for nine years for an acid attack which left her victim seriously burned.
Sau Lin-Hin, 48, of Mulberry Way, Ryde, had pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent at Portsmouth Crown Court in August. Sau Lin-Hin, 48, of Mulberry Way, Ryde, had pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm after throwing caustic soda on the face of Zhijian Zhang, 22.
The attack happened in Sandown, Isle of Wight, on 4 June and left a woman with "life-changing" facial injuries. Ms Zhang, who is known as Jackie, was a waitress working in the restaurant of Lin-Hin's husband.
Following the attack in Sandown High Street, the victim was transferred to a specialist burns unit. Prosecutor Dale Sheehan said Lin-Hin wanted to make her victim "less attractive".
He said Lin-Hin had mixed the acid with water.
He said: "The level of concentration [of the acid] was viscous, sticking to the skin or any surface in which it came into contact. It was extremely corrosive."
Victim 'devastated'
The attack happened in the High Street in Sandown, Isle of Wight, on 4 June.
Ms Zhang suffered extensive injuries to her face, arm, shoulder and chest and has been scarred for life.
Speaking about her victim personal statement, Mr Sheehan said: "She said that she had been disfigured even on parts of her body not directly affected by burns because surgeons used other parts of her body for skin grafts.
"She is devastated as she cannot be exposed to sunshine without wearing lots of sunscreen, has to wear lots of bandages and cannot have a wash without the help of her sister.
"She has lost her job, is currently dependant of her family and is very worried that she might not be able to work again or find love because of her scars."
