(Worcester) A 40 year old Afghan asylum seeker (who can't be named) has been jailed
for 16 years after paying to have a gang of Romanians carry out an acid attack on
his 3 year old son, simply in which to make his wife look incapable of looking
after their 3 children so as to win custody of them.
The couple who married in an Islamic ceremony in 2007 split
in 2012 and she taking their 3 children sought shelter away from the abusive man
in a nearby town in a refuge for abused
women. Unfortunately for her, he spotted her picture in the local paper at a
school event and he set in motion a plan to regain his honour. He arranged with
a friend for a gang of Romanians to attack the child with acid which they
carried out in a store last July.

Unfortunately for the Romanian gang they were
caught on video, which resulted in them getting nicked. Whilst carrying out
their investigations the police realised that the gang had tried to carry out
the attack earlier in the month outside
the child’s school, but pulled out due to a last minute hitch. Once the gang
were under arrest it soon transpired that the child’s father was the man behind
the attack and whislt looking into him, the police found out he had actually
asked permission from his mullah in the Uk if was permissible to murder his
wife and children due to her divorcing him Instead of informing the police, the
mullah told him to go away and pray. He also threatened to take the children
outside the UK to a Muslim country to have them killed. He said he would do
this because he would not get into trouble if he did it in a Muslim country.
Adam Cech, Jan Dudi, Norbert Pulko, Martina Badiova, Saied
Hussini, and Jabar Paktia all received
sentences of 12 years for their part in the attack. Whilst the child suffered serious burns to his face and arms,
his injuries were mitigated by the swift action carried out by a member of
staff
