The two men who attacked him identified as Alando McNeish, 22, and Aaron Ricketts, 20, forced the victim to str!p off before they poured boiling water over him in the warped revenge attack. They have now been thugs jailed. In the shocking story, the sadistic duo also heated up a metal ladle and seared Kevin’s flesh on various parts of his body. They filmed the incident a mobile phone by Amarl Wood, who did not appear before Maidstone Crown Court. In the footage, Kevin was ordered to sit down by the pair after arriving at his partner’s maisonette in Rochester, Kent, on February 5 last year.
Ricketts demanded an explanation for why the drugs package delivered by Kevin was what he described as being “small”. He then told his victim: “I am going to make sure you never thieve again. Take off your clothes.” Terrified Kevin pleaded for mercy as he was repeatedly struck over the head by McNeish, who then went to fetch the kettle. Prosecutor Tom Dunn described the attack to Maidstone Crown Court as “sadistic and gratuitous torturing”. McNeish burned Kevin with the water across his back, neck, left shoulder, arm and chest.
He was eventually able to escape to his neighbour Lee Granville’s home, where he was showered in cold water to try to ease the horrific burns. Kevin went into shock and his body started to convulse as a result of the “unbelievable pain”, according to Mr Dunn. McNeish, of Rochester, was found guilty of GBH and Ricketts, of Strood, Kent, admitted the same charge. They were both sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on April 29. McNeish was jailed for ten and a half years and Ricketts was jailed for seven years and ten months.
