A British teenager who was attacked with acid in Zanzibar has vowed to return to the archipelago though she fears her assailants may never be caught.
Kirstie Trup and Katie Gee, both 18, are recovering after they were targeted by two men on a moped during a volunteering holiday last month.
Despite her ordeal Ms Trup has insisted she has many happy memories of her time there where the two childhood friends worked with underprivileged children.
But she has questioned why the authorities have not caught her attacker in Stone Town, the old part of the island's main city where "everyone knows everyone".
Stone Town, where the attack took place "I feel very frustrated and upset that our attackers haven't been caught," she told The Sunday Times.
"Stone Town is too small for it to be this hard and I fear they will never be caught."
The teenagers, from north London, were nearing the end of a month-long stint teaching English when they were attacked on August 7.
Ms Trup suffered severe chemical burns to her shoulder and back from the sulphuric acid which was launched at the pair as they walked back from a restaurant on the predominantly Muslim island.
Ms Gee's injuries, showing dark burns seared across her jaw, neck and chest Police in Zanzibar have interviewed several people, including eyewitnesses, and are believed to have identified a possible culprit.
But Miss Trup said authorities in Tanzania have not shown the girls a photograph of the suspect.
"This experience, as horrible as it has been, has not deterred me from wanting to do more voluntary work in Zanzibar," she told the newspaper.
"In fact, I would even like to return to do more work there next year."
Miss Trup, who was discharged after three days, has returned for a skin graft.
She is expected to take up a place at Bristol University where she will study history at the end of the month.
Miss Gee, the more seriously injured of the two, is still believed to be in hospital. She has a place at Nottingham University to study sociology but may take a year off to recover from her wounds.
