Custody battle father plotted acid attack on own son

A court in Worcester. England, heard this week that a father locked in a custody row plotted an acid attack on his three-year-old son to try to paint the boy’s mother as “unfit”.

The boy’s face and arm were burned when he was squirted with sulphuric acid.

Prosecutors said his father, 40, enlisted others in a bid to “manufacture” evidence to discredit his estranged wife.

He and six others deny conspiring to commit grievous bodily harm.
