A dad has told of the horrifying moment a gangland enforcer hurled acid in his face in a "barbaric" attack.
Jonathan Gordon, who charged £6,000 to carry out an acid attack and £10,000 to blind his victim, left the father in agony with life-changing injuries. The "truly wicked" attacker lay in wait for the victim outside his home in St Helens and pounced as he collected a charger from his car.
In a heart-rending victim impact statement, the victim. Lee Deakin, described the terror and agony of his ordeal. He said: “My skin felt like jelly. As I washed my face it felt as if my skin was falling off my face.
