The families of two British women targeted in an acid attack in Zanzibar spoke of their frustration that the attackers have not been brought to justice.
Londoners Kirstie Trup and Katie Gee, both 18, are recovering after being targeted by two men on a moped during a volunteering holiday on August 7.
Their families called on the UK government to apply more pressure on the Tanzanian authorities.
Doug Morris, the partner of Ms Gee's mother, said: "If the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are as committed to helping to bring these people to justice on behalf of two British citizens, then you would expect them to move hell and high water to do that. There doesn't seem to be any sense of urgency."
There is still confusion over how to get a photograph of a suspect to the women for identification, according to Ms Trup's father Marc.
He said: "The photograph cannot be sent in a format that is acceptable by Interpol, or the British authorities."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
