UK teenager jailed for 17 years over fatal acid attack

Xeneral Webster threatened a man with acid that splashed on to bystander Joanne Rand

8/1/18

A teenager has been jailed for 17 years after what is believed to be the first conviction for an acid attack killing in the UK.

Xeneral Webster, 19, admitted the manslaughter of Joanne Rand, who was hit in the face and body with industrial-strength sulphuric acid when she was innocently caught up in a tussle between the killer and another man.

Rand, 47, a carer for people with dementia, was sitting on a bench in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, after visiting her daughter’s grave, when Webster threatened the other man with acid.

The man knocked the open bottle from Webster’s grasp and kicked it, sending a spray of acid over Rand, the trial heard. She screamed in pain and dashed into a fast-food restaurant to splash water over her face.
