Hang Sreyleak, 19, was doused in acid by two unidentified suspects as she sat with her mother in a hairdresser in the Daun Penh district of Phnom Penh, local police said on Tuesday. The girl was winner of the popular TV9 Freshy Girl beauty and talent competition.

Police said that suspects riding an Air Blade moped enter the hairdressers in Sreh Chak commune at 10:10 am and threw acid on the girl and her mother.

Hang Sreyleak was seriously injured, a witness said. Her mother, Som Sineth, 51, was just splashed a little. The police chief told DAP News Cambodia that she won the contest last week.
Other acid attacks have involved a love triangle or revenge.

Daun Penh police vowed to investigate the case as an attempted murder.
