CCTV shows moment Joanne Rand was hit with 'acid' substance

Xeneral Webster, 19, admitted manslaughter over the death of Joanne Rand, who was hit with sulphuric acid as she sat on a bench in Frogmoor, High Wycombe. It is believed to be the first acid killing in the UK. Webster had armed himself with the corrosive substance which was knocked from his hand by another man who he was in a dispute with over a bicycle. The court was told that Ms Rand screamed in pain and ran to a nearby branch of KFC to splash water over herself. She was treated and briefly released from hospital after suffering up to 5 per cent burns on her body (left, her injures). But she died 11 days later from multiple organ failure after contracting septicaemia due to the burns. Webster was later seen on CCTV riding away from the scene of the attack, carrying a bottle of acid.

Forget life sentences, people who throw acid should get death penalty. It's Unbelievable sick and twisted to do this to someone

[cmcc]

The only way to stop these acid attacks is whole life sentences.
Remove them from society. For EVER.
Soft sentences are the reason they're still willing to risk getting caught.

And anyone that is willing to commit an atrocity like that against another human being is irreparably damage in the head anyway.

Streets are never safe while they're walking on them

he'll be out in less than 7 years with a new flat and plenty of free government handouts to help him on his way . Her family won't get a thing except a life time of heartache . And that is British justice and a fact .

[markhorton]

"Knocked from his hand", what an insult to our intelligence. He just walked on as if nothing had happened.
Only 17 years, ridiculous. If that was my mother I would dissolve his genitals and make him drink the result.

Anyone who commits an acid attack on another should get the death sentence.

The moment she gets up and runs off actually breaks my heart, that could have been anyones mum/sister..poor poor lady was just living her life..rip darling x

Joanne Rand was acid attacked on Saturday, 3rd June 2017. She was hospitalized and passed away on 14th June after developing sepsis caused by the burns. Truly sad.

Life in prison for anyone who does this.

[WalterEKurtz-kpjf]

People need to start taking matters like this into their own hands if the UK justice system is this ridiculous.

I knew one of this woman's children. It's heartbreaking knowing that your mum can be here one moment, and gone the next.

[paulfryer]

The cultural enrichment of great Britain.

[abubakr]

The woman died from the attack. Theres no mercy for this. May the perp always suffer for this.

This happened in 2017 “it” was 19, but now “it’s” 24... Joanne will never get to see her children grow and blossom, Joanne will never be able to hug them when someone breaks their heart, or tell them it’ll be fine when they go to do their driving test.
Joanne could of been our mum, sister, neighbour.
The day this happened Joanne sat down on that bench and was taking in the beauty that surrounded her “life” . Joanne had just returned from the cemetery as her daughter in 2011 died in a car accident.
I don’t know you Joanne Rand, I only came across this news article now, you are at peace with your daughter... until you meet your other children one day...but not yet, not yet 😉🕊😢 x

Ways in which a human being sits down, plans to commit murder, steal, attack others and rape people I don’t understand how? That there are evil people like this in society is truly haunting and simply unfathomable. How can someone think of harming someone else? What crosses their mind to do so? And why?

[patrickdeehan]

He is the sort of person you wish Putin would invite around for one of his special cups of tea .

[johnbrereton]

A nice peaceful English town is 'enriched' by diversity.

[tomthumb]

That degree of evil is beyond comprehension

[sazzy]

Struggling to see what moment she was sprayed, I see her run off but what second was she sprayed?

[davidw]

I’m so confused I can’t work out what happened

[Mikke-G]

He only got 17 years for culturally enriching that privileged nurse.
