A 26-year-old ex­pec­tant moth­er is among two women who are ex­pect­ed to be charged for al­leged­ly dous­ing a Mar­aval hair­styl­ist with acid in Feb­ru­ary.

Po­lice said the woman and an­oth­er 20-year-old woman were sought for weeks in re­la­tion to the at­tack which hap­pened on Feb­ru­ary 21.

Both women sur­ren­dered to Bel­mont po­lice with their at­tor­ney on Mon­day af­ter­noon.

How­ev­er sources dis­closed that the 26-year-old felt un­well on Mon­day evening and was tak­en to hos­pi­tal for treat­ment.

Po­lice con­firmed the 26-year-old was pos­i­tive­ly iden­ti­fied af­ter be­ing placed on iden­ti­fi­ca­tion pa­rade on Tues­day af­ter­noon, while the 20-year-old was known by the vic­tim and did not have to go on iden­ti­fi­ca­tion pa­rade.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said both women were ex­pect­ed to be charged lat­er on Tues­day evening and will ap­pear be­fore a Port-of-Spain mag­is­trate (Wednes­day).

The hair­styl­ist, 21-year-old Jessie James, was re­port­ed­ly con­tact­ed by a stranger, who in­vit­ed her to Bel­mont for an ap­point­ment.

How­ev­er on reach­ing Brath­waite Lane, James was con­front­ed by two women who ac­cused her of so­cial­is­ing with men they knew.

The con­fronta­tion es­ca­lat­ed to an al­ter­ca­tion, where one of the women snatched James' cell­phone, be­fore throw­ing acid on her face.

James suf­fered chem­i­cal burns and was tak­en to the Port-of-Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal where she re­mained ward­ed for two weeks be­fore be­ing dis­charged.

In an in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia last Fri­day, James, who was still ex­pe­ri­enc­ing pain and dis­com­fort from the burns said she could not find it in her heart to for­give her at­tack­ers.

She said that vi­sion in both eyes was still dif­fi­cult, but did not re­ceive much feed­back from doc­tors on whether she would re­gain her eye­sight.
