She said:
“i said oh this is what you wanted. I said no i heard something like splash of something from the head there (Her back head) so he just splashed it like that. the hot thing in it was like a chocking smell so when i turned like this (Face-to-face) he timed me so it’s entered my face plus inside the eye oh wow when it reached there, i could not think of anything”
The attack left Benita with serious injuries, including damage to her face and eye.
