Daughter-in-law's eyes burned after mother-in-law threw acid
After a few loud words with her mother-in-law, Ms. Hoa was splashed with acid in the face, burning both of her eyes.
At around 8pm on January 1, Ms. Hoa (35 years old, residing in Hien Ninh commune, Quang Ninh, Quang Binh) returned home with her husband after going out on New Year's Eve. Due to a previous conflict, Ms. Hoa had a verbal argument with her 58-year-old mother-in-law.
During the argument, the mother suddenly threw acid on Ms. Hoa's face, forcing her to be hospitalized. Doctors said the patient suffered conjunctival burns in both eyes and first and second degree burns in several other areas of her body.
Today, Quang Ninh police worked on the case. Authorities said the acid was taken by the mother-in-law from the gold shop run by her daughter-in-law.
