Senior Political Correspondent

A man has been found guilty of carrying out an acid attack in a crowded east London night club which left 22 people hurt. Arthur Collins, the ex-boyfriend of reality television star Ferne McCann, admitted spraying the substance inside the Mangle E8 club during the early hours of April 17th, but claimed he hadn’t known it was acid. More than a dozen victims were left with serious burns and some of them needed months of mental and physical rehabilitation.
