Acid attack teen vows to return to Zanzibar

A British teenager who was attacked with acid in Zanzibar has vowed to return to the archipelago, but fears her assailants may never be brought to justice.

Kirstie Trup and Katie Gee, both 18, are recovering after they were targeted by two men on a moped during a volunteering holiday last month.

Despite her ordeal Miss Trup has insisted she has many happy memories of her spell in Zanzibar where the two childhood friends worked with underprivileged children. But the student, who gave police a “very detailed” description of the attack, has questioned why the authorities have not caught their attackers in Stone Town, the old part of the main city where “everyone knows everyone”.
