Acid Attack Victim In England Says "I Could Feel My Face Melting"

Adele Bellis

A beautician has told how she felt her face "melting" during an acid attack arranged by her "evil" ex-boyfriend.

Anthony Riley, 26, of Raglan Road, Lowestoft, has been jailed for life for planning the attack on Adele Bellis as she waited for a bus in August 2014.
Ms Bellis, 23, who lost an ear, said: "He wanted to mess my face up so no-one would have me."

Three other men involved in the conspiracy have also been jailed at Ipswich Crown Court.
Judge John Devaux told Riley "you have shown no sign of remorse" and said he should serve at least 13 years in jail before being considered for release.

Leon Thompson, 39 of Alma Road in the town, who carried out a separate knife attack on Ms Bellis on Riley's orders in April last year, has been jailed for 15 years and must serve at least 10.
He stood trial with Riley and they were also both found guilty of conspiracy to carry out the attacks.
