Teen locked up for bleach attack

A TEENAGER who poured bleach over a woman in a revenge attack after she asked him to be quiet in a cinema was locked up for 12 months yesterday.

Jordan Horsley, 16, attacked Annette Warden as she had a meal with her family in a restaurant in Leeds on July 26.

He was annoyed with the mother-of-two after she fetched a member of staff to tell him and his friends to be quiet during a screening of Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince at the Vue cinema in Kirkstall Road earlier in the day.

Warden, 46, had to be treated in hospital after the attack, although she was not seriously injured.

The teen was handed a 12-month detention and training order yesterday at Leeds Crown Court after he was found guilty of attempting to cause Warden grievous bodily harm with intent.

Judge Peter Collier said: “You decided to take your revenge on her and you went to a nearby garage, which had a shop. Initially, you wanted to find some eggs to throw at her but when you couldn’t find any, you bought a bottle of Domestos bleach.

“You approached her from behind and squirted the bleach at her from behind.”

Warden told the court in a victim impact statement she was scared to go out alone with her children unless her husband was with her.
