A beautician's jealous ex-boyfriend plotted to have his former partner stabbed in the face and later doused in sulphuric acid, a court has heard.

Adele Bellis, 22, who was "proud of her appearance and looks" lost an ear, and is partially bald after the attack.

Her former partner, Anthony Riley, 26, has gone on trial, along with co-defendant, Leon Thompson, 39.

Witnesses reported seeing smoke coming from Miss Bellis's skin at the incident at a Lowestoft bus stop last year.

Mr Riley is alleged to have organised for Mr Thompson to stab Miss Bellis in the street on April 29.

Later, it is said he hired Jason Harrison, who owed him money, to carry out the acid attack on August 14. Jurors learned Harrison had already admitted his part in the conspiracy.

This is almost worse than killing someone.
She will live with pain for the rest of her life. With emotional trauma as well.
Lock both of these monsters up forever.
 
Damn talk about jealousy messed up her life forever because he couldn't deal with her moving on. That is the worst.
 
Thanks crazy men for giving me yet another reason not to date :banghead::pout::(:rolleyes:

ETA: Adele I wish you the best of luck in your healing. :)<3

See kids, that's why they tell you...Use Your Time WISELY! Spending all that energy plotting and organizing to hurt this woman instead of using it to find a new girlfriend. Dip shits!
 
The court heard how the attack was the culmination of six-month campaign of abuse by her former partner Anthony Riley, 26, whom she had dated for seven years.

Prosecutor Andrew Jackson told Ipswich Crown Court that, months before the attack, Riley had hatched a plan to have his girlfriend stabbed in the face.


Not content with the injuries he had already caused, he later orchestrated for his 39-year-old co-defendant Leon Thompson to hurl acid attack over his victim, the court was told.


Riley, whom Miss Bellis dated for around seven years, also posted a revenge porn sex video on Facebook in a bid to cause 'complete and utter shame and humiliation'.


Mr Jackson added: 'After their relationship ended, Mr Riley became consumed with jealousy at the prospect of her becoming involved with another man. He decided to control her by disfiguring her.'

[...]

She has since undergone several operations for skin grafts and facial reconstruction surgery which is likely to continue throughout her life.

On the night when Miss Bellis was stabbed in the face, the court was told how Riley allegedly asked her to meet him, before guiding her down an alleyway.


There, Thompson allegedly launched the attack, the court heard. Mr Jackson said Riley then chased Thompson, who gave him a minor injury to remove suspicion.


After posting the Facebook video - something which Riley admitted - he then started making plans for the acid attack, the court was told.


Jurors heard how he convinced Harrison to carry out the attack and demonstrated the strength of the acid to him by dropping a live mouse into a jar of the liquid.


On the first attempt, Harrison poured the acid away and told Riley he had dropped it, the court heard.


He also failed to follow through with a second attempt on August 13, after which Riley allegedly told him he had 'one more chance'.


Prosecutors say a hooded and masked Harrison eventually completed the planned attack the following day.

Campaign of abuse? Revenge porn? Stabbing in the face? Why was this man out and able to pressure his friend into committing the acid attack?
 
I can't imagine having so big an ego that I feel entitled to own or destroy another human being. I hate assholes like this. Get lives and move on, dumb asses.
 
A man threw acid in a beautician's face because he feared for his life, family and girlfriend, a court has heard.

The attack, at a bus stop in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on 14 August 2014, was ordered by her ex-boyfriend Anthony Riley, 27, Ipswich Crown Court was told.

Jason Harrison, 39, from Lowestoft, admits the attack and said Mr Riley promised to reduce a drugs debt.

He owed Mr Riley £10,000 and would be let off some of it if he carried out the attack, he said.

Mr Riley told him where she lived and gave him £500 and a coffee jar containing sulphuric acid, the jury was told.

He aborted two attacks causing Mr Riley to punch him and put a knife in his mouth, Mr Harrison said.

"I didn't want to do this attack. I'm not a violent person," he said.

Here's a thought, since his "payment" for the attack was reducing his retardedly high drug debt, how's about his ignorant ass stops using drugs and keeps his loved ones safe that way?

I am more disgusted that he didn't hold out for it being cancelled out completely. A mere reduction wouldn't do much for him with the interest these people add.....

A man jailed for life for arranging an acid attack on his ex-girlfriend has failed in a bid to overturn his conviction.

Anthony Riley, 28, was jailed for a minimum of 13 years. His lawyers said a deal between a fellow defendant and prosecutors undermined the conviction.

But London's Appeal Court heard "there was other powerful evidence" of guilt.

Lord Justice Davis said: "Riley was asking the jury to acquit him, despite over 20 separate coincidences [linking him to the acid attack]".
