A dangerous hitman behind a series of shootings was caged for life after launching a bottle of acid into a dad's face for money, leaving the victim with permanent injuries.
Gang member Jonathan Gordon, 34, offered his services on the EncroChat phone network using the handle 'ValuedBridge', and was hired by an unidentified gang boss behind the handle 'AceProspect' to carry out horrifying attacks on several enemies.
The messages revealed how Gordon, based in Kirkdale, Liverpool, charged £6,000 for an acid attack, which rose to £10,000 to permanently blind the victim, Liverpool Echo reports.
