In a shocking turn of events, reports have now uncovered, that in the case of a woman scalding a down syndrome man, hot water was not actually used to abuse the poor man, but in actuality, a form of chemical substance was used instead.

As reported by Oriental Daily, the victims family members have now confirmed that the culprit had thrown a suspected chemical solution at the disabled man in a lift instead of the aforementioned innocent liquid. 

However at this time, doctors are unable to confirm what type of chemical it was, but are currently waiting for laboratory reports to determine the exact liquid substance that was used.

He was subsequently taken to Penang General Hospital for treatment to his serious injuries.
