A Hong Kong teenager has admitted to splashing corrosive liquid on a Singaporean woman in 2025, Hong Kong media reported, leaving her with second-degree burns.<\/p>\n
Anson Kew, now 19, pleaded guilty on Oct 15 at the High Court on one count of \u201csprinkling corrosive liquid with intent to cause grievous bodily harm\u201d.<\/p>\n
Justice Andrew Chan Hing-wai adjourned sentencing to Oct 29.<\/p>\n
The tourist, 36-year-old Jiang Wen, was getting into a car in Wan Chai on June 9, 2025, when Kew ambushed her, reported the South China Morning Post (SCMP).<\/p>\n
Jiang screamed in agony and collapsed after experiencing intense burning on her face and legs, while Kew, who was dressed in black and wearing a face mask, fled the scene.<\/p>\n
The driver immediately called the police, reported news outlet HK01.<\/p>\n
Kew turned himself in at a police station two days after the incident, but refused to answer questions and did not explain the attack.<\/p>\n
Police investigations found that Kew had surveyed the location several days before carrying out the attack.<\/p>\n
The police also found a bottle containing traces of corrosive liquid in a back alley in the Wan Chai area, reported SCMP.<\/p>\n
A government chemist\u2019s report confirmed that the liquid contained at least 90% sulphuric acid, a concentration capable of causing severe skin burns and permanent damage to one\u2019s eyesight.<\/p>\n
Jiang was admitted to hospital, where she was found to have chemical burns covering 10% of her body, including her feet, upper limbs and face, HK01 reported.<\/p>\n
Her legs suffered second-degree burns.<\/p>\n
She underwent surgery and multiple skin grafting procedures, and after two months in hospital, she returned to Singapore to continue her treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
