An 80-year-old man who paid a man £50 to carry out an acid attack that left his teenage ex-girlfriend with disfiguring burns to her face and neck has been jailed for 18 years.
Mohammed Rafiq arranged the doorstep assault after 19-year-old care worker Vikki Horsman told him she was halting their relationship because of his controlling behaviour.
Rafiq planned the attack with 25-year-old Steven Holmes, who was paid £50 to carry it out, and a third man, Shannon Heaps, 23. All three were convicted of causing grievous bodily harm. Homes was jailed for 14 years and Heaps for 12 years.
The jury at Wolverhampton crown court was told that the assault at a house in Tividale, West Midlands, took place in April after Horsman split up with Rafiq because of his jealous behaviour. Horsman has described how she came to rely on Rafiq after her parents died. He treated her well to begin with and bought her a car but she said he became controlling and paranoid.
She converted to Islam at his behest but be began to falsely suspect her of cheating on him.
After they parted, Rafiq went to see her at the house where the attack took place. She was about to go and get some sleep before starting a night shift when she heard a knock at the door. He told her that someone was there for her and as she opened the front door she was confronted by a figure in a grey hoodie, a bandana over his face and his hood up. The man said her name and threw a black liquid at her. Horsman screamed in pain and glimpsed her blistering face and neck in a mirror as she stumbled back into the house. She has said she could feel her skin peeling off layer by layer and thought she was going to die.
“I just started screaming because of the burning,” Horsman told the jury.
