12 April 2012
A woman who gained worldwide sympathy after she claimed an unknown attacker threw acid in her face admitted she did it herself.
Vancouver police chief Clifford Cook said Bethany Storro, 28, admitted under questioning that she invented the story about the attack, in which she suffered severe burns.
Mr Cook said he did not know why Storro had done it but added that she was "very remorseful".
Storro had claimed a black woman with a ponytail had asked her: "Hey, pretty girl, want something to drink?" then threw acid in her face.
