Hussain then kicked the bottle from Webster's hand, sending a spray of industrial strength sulphuric acid over Rand, covering her from head to toe.
[8][13] After realising she had been doused with the substance, and beginning to experience pain, she screamed and ran to a local fast food outlet, where she rinsed her face with water.
[3] She went on to develop septicaemia as a result of her burns, and after being readmitted to hospital, died from multiple organ failure on 14 June, eleven days after the attack.
The jury was shown CCTV footage of him travelling from Central London by train to Gerrards Cross, then on to High Wycombe, arriving there at around 4.00pm, before he sought out Hussain.
The trial was told that after the bottle was kicked from his hand, Rand, who was sitting around 13 metres from the two men, felt it hit her shin, before her face, arms and feet began to burn.
This resulted in her skin receiving 5% burns, and there was also significant damage to her clothing, "with white stains across the front and a number of rips and holes".
[12][17] The hearing heard that a pH test on the substance confirmed a reading of minus two, which Hunter described as "typical of a very strong acid, very corrosive and can cause severe progressive burns to the skin".
[8] On 18 April, the prosecution accepted his manslaughter plea, and Morris directed the jury to acquit him of the charges of murder, robbery and attempted grievous bodily harm.
"[8] Detective Chief Inspector Nick Glister of Thames Valley Police, who was the senior investigating officer, said, "Webster showed a total disregard for the innocent members of the public who were present that day and his actions took a much loved mum, sister, and partner away from her many family and friends".
Webster apologised to Rand's family, but shouted abuse at Morris as he was sentenced, then said "All of you will probably be dead by the time I am out of here, fuck you bro" as he was led from the court.
[24] In March 2020, Webster received a life sentence for the assault at HMYOI Aylesbury, and was ordered to serve a minimum term of 14 years.
