Manhunt for TV presenter Katie Piper’s acid attacker in London

Police have launched an urgent hunt to track him down. His last known address was in north London.

Police were notified on Friday, 23 September, that Stefan Sylvestre, 34, has been recalled to prison for breaching his licence conditions.

His current whereabouts is unknown and could be in hiding or on the run.

A Probation Service spokeswoman said on Sunday: “We are urgently working with the police to bring the offender back to prison where he’ll face longer behind bars.”

Katie suffered horrific injuries and left fighting for her life after obsessive ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch arranged for Sylvestre to throw the corrosive liquid in March 2008.

In October 2019 Katie bravely shared a graphic image online revealing the terrible injuries she had sustained from being doused with sulphuric acid. She featured on numerous TV shows, including a 2009 documentary about the impact of the attack as she rebuilt her life.

Sylvestre should not be approached.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call police on 999 quoting CAD6239/23Sep.
