An everyday story of love, nonce-ing & acid attacks..

there's one of these every fucking week week now?!

An 80-year-old man has been convicted of masterminding an acid revenge attack on his teenage ex-lover.

Mohammed Rafiq had denied inflicting grievous bodily harm on Vikki Horsman, 20, who was left scarred by the attack in April, when she was still aged 19.

Wolverhampton Crown Court heard Rafiq had denied arranging the attack in retaliation for Ms Horsman ending the pair's relationship early this year.

Rafiq, of Cheshire Road, Smethwick, will be sentenced on 19 December.

Shannon Heaps, 23, and Steven Holmes, 25, were also found guilty of plotting to attack Ms Horsman at a house in Tividale, West Midlands.

During the trial, the court heard Ms Horsman had entered into a relationship with "controlling" Rafiq when she was 18.

He became angered when she broke up with him, and arranged for Heaps and Holmes to attack her with the corrosive liquid.

On 15 April, she opened the door of the house and was met by a hooded figure who threw acid in her face.

Vikki Horsman told the court Rafiq had accused her of cheating on him while they were together

She suffered "horrific" burns as a result, requiring specialist surgery to her face, neck, shoulders, and upper leg, police said.

They said Rafiq, who suffered minor burns himself when he was splashed with liquid, was initially treated as a victim but later charged.

He and Heaps, of Queens Avenue, and Holmes, of Allan Close, were found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Rafiq was convicted of a further charge of perverting the course of justice.

Speaking after the trial, Ms Horsman told how she had been left with "life-changing" injuries.

"I have had to undergo lots of treatment for the burns and the damage those people caused," she said.

"The trauma and distress that Rafiq and his accomplices have put me under have left mental scars that I fear will never go away."

Investigating officer Det Con Jason Moseley said the case had been "horrifying and complex" and "centred around a controlling relationship".

"Rafiq's young ex-partner was seriously injured and left with devastating, lasting scars, which one can only presume was his intent given the nature of the planned attack," he said.

Apart from the throwing acid in face bit you've got say fair play to the fella. Hope I'm smashing 18 year olds when I'm 80 *starts reading Quran*

Not sure I can separate the throwing acid in someone's face thing from my overall opinion of the bloke.

The fact that at 19 she had a romantic/sexual relationship with an 80 year old, and - worse - converted to islam, indicates that some form of severe damage was done to her well before the acid was thrown on her.

Hope she can find more happiness in the future.

You may have a point, non-religious to religious converts often have gone through some huge traumamatic experience. Seems par for the course.

I had acid thrown in my face once. A whole sheet of blotter duds, he wasn't happy but how was I to know?

A woman, too. What the feck is good about islam from a woman's point of view? A young woman in her prime who has been lucky enough to have been born and raised in a liberal western democracy where her rights are protected in law and the culture allows her freedom to be independent and determine her own future?

How screwed up and self-loathing and alienated from the people who (were supposed to have) nurtured you would you have to be?

I reckon it's because some people will believe any old shit.

I'm not able to extrapolate any further on that thought.

Its happening more and more. Its absolutely sickening and frightening that people are prepared to use such a thing to harm someone.

Katie Piper's story was horrific, probably the most high profile case we know of.
