, the suspect in the Clapham acid attack, could potentially be deceased, warned Nick Aldworth, a former national counter-terrorism coordinator.

Metropolitan Police officers have been tirelessly pursuing the 35-year-old Afghan asylum seeker since the horrific incident on Wednesday, where he allegedly doused a mother and her two daughters with a chemical substance.

The woman sustained severe injuries and remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

As the manhunt enters its fifth day, with a £20,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest, speculation about Ezedi’s fate grows.

Nick Aldworth expressed concerns that Ezedi may have gone underground or even taken his own life, given the lack of recent sightings or communication.

Nick Aldworth told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme; “I think if we’ve not seen or heard from him in the the last couple of days, which appears to be the case, he’s gone to ground, possibly supported by somebody… or it’s not unlikely or improbable that he may have taken his own life. There is therefore a body to be found somewhere.”

Asked if the Met Police would now have a precise location for his whereabouts, he said; “I think they’ll have a very good sense of what area he’s in.

“What you can’t discount of course is that he has been picked up by an ally and moved somewhere else, perhaps in a vehicle. The reason they’ve offered a £20,000 reward is usually because there’s a sense that somebody inside the community might well be harbouring this individual.”
