Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi killed himself by jumping into the Thames within hours after attacking a woman and two girls, a coroner has ruled.
Police had begun searching for the 35-year-old after the attack in south London on January 31.
Ezedi is believed to have entered the River Thames later that day, and his body was found just beneath Chelsea Bridge on February 19.
Senior coroner Mary Hassell ruled out the possibility that Ezedi was pushed or fell into the water by accident.
She said: “Given the circumstances, including what happened in the day, I think that it is likely that he jumped into the water and I think it is likely that he did so with the intention of ending his life.”
Police believe Ezedi, from the Newcastle area, doused his former girlfriend, a mother-of-two, with a corrosive chemical.
