A man accused of throwing acid at an aspiring model and her cousin smiled and blew kisses at his supporters as he attended court.
Resham Khan, 21, and Jameel Muhktar, 37, were left with horrific neck and face injuries when acid was thrown at them through a car window on Ms Khan's 21st birthday in Beckton, east London.
John Tomlin appeared at Thames Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent.
The 25-year-old grinned from the dock and blew kisses to well-wishers in the public gallery as he was led away.
Mr Tomlin, of Colman Road, Canning Town, east London, handed himself in to police on Sunday.
He was remanded in custody and ordered to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on August 8.
Both Ms Khan and Mr Muhktar suffered life-changing injuries in the attack that took place at 9.13am on Tollgate Road on June 21.
In the days afterwards, Ms Khan said: "I'm devastated. I keep wondering if my life will ever be the same."
Mr Mukhtar said he feels "emotionally wrecked" and "in continuous pain".
