Incredible bravery of acid attack victim in Belgium...

A mother whose face was hideously deformed by acid sprayed by her married lover appeared in court today and accused him of 'turning me into a monster'.

Speaking on the first day of Richard Remes's trial for attempted murder in Belgium, Patricia Lefranc said she was 'determined to look him in the eye and show the jury what he has done to me'.

The 48-year-old, who underwent 86 operations following the attack, added: 'I hope to convince the court that he did indeed want to murder me.'

Remes, 57, is said to have planned the sulphuric acid attack after Ms Lefranc ended their relationship just over two years ago. More + photos...
