NATIONAL NEWS - The man accused of throwing acid on his former girlfriend is expected to hear his fate when the Johannesburg Magistrates Court hands down judgment today.

Jan Pieterse is charged with attempted murder.

He claims he acted in self-defence when he threw the acid over Ines Antonio's face arms and chest last year.

During the trial, he told the court heard he'd grabbed the wrong tin and never intended to hurt her.

Next month, marks exactly a year since Antonio sustained severe burns to her face, arms, chest and back after Pieterse threw drain acid at her during a heated argument about their child.
