Authored by bbc.com

A 17-year-old boy has been jailed for 10 and a half years for attacking six moped riders with acid while trying to steal their bikes.

Derryck John, from Croydon, previously admitted carrying out the attacks in the north and east of London on 13 July last year.

At the time Judge Lucas lifted restrictions identifying the teenager, saying there was an "overwhelming, huge public interest" in doing so.

The substance used in the attacks was thought to have had a pH of one or two, an acidity level similar to battery acid.

22:49 - Acid is sprayed in the face of a 44-year-old moped rider on St Paul's Road in Islington.

He called for tougher sentences for people who carry out acid attacks and said he had written to the home secretary to review the law.

A second person who was captured on CCTV carrying out the attacks with John has never been found. »
