AN ex-bouncer allegedly recorded a boy, 3, screaming in pain after he was sprayed in the face with acid – to show the youngster’s dad the attack was successful, a court heard today.
Jan Dudi, 25, made the audio recording on Facebook Messenger as the child cried out “I hurt, I hurt” after being squirted with sulphuric acid at a Home Bargains store in Worcester, jurors were told.
Jurors heard Dudi recorded the aftermath of the attack to prove to his co-conspirators the “cowardly” attack had taken place.
The 29 second clip was played to Worcester Crown Court today, in which the boy’s screams could be heard.
It was made on the former bouncer’s phone three seconds after the boy allegedly was squirted with acid by Adam Cech, 27, at 2.16pm on July 21, last year.
Dudi is on trial with Cech and five others, including the child’s father, a 40-year-old Afghan, who cannot be named.
They deny conspiracy to apply a corrosive fluid with intent to burn, maim, disable or disfigure the boy or do him grievous bodily harm.
Dudi told jurors the recording was made accidentally as he talked to his wife.
He claims he was using the app to ask if he should buy toys for their kids.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told Dudi he must have pressed the icon to record the audio.
You deliberately recorded that little boy crying after the attack, didn’t you?
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC
He was asked if he knew whether it was possible to make an audio recording while still engaged in a Facebook Messenger call and he replied ‘I don’t know’.
Mr Rees said: “I suggest that the reason you made that recording was to get evidence that the attack had been carried out.”
Dudi denied this was the case through a Slovak interpreter. Raising his voice slightly, Mr Rees said: “You deliberately recorded that little boy crying after the attack, didn’t you?”
Dudi replied: “No”.
Dudi claims he entered the shop to carry out surveillance on a woman suspected of cheating by her estranged husband.
Mr Rees also asked him why he had left the shop so soon if his purpose for going in there was to “watch the woman” – the mother of the child who suffered the burns.
Dudi said the intention was to continue to watch her from the car but Pulko had said they should all go home because they were “tired”.
Mr Rees also asked him why he was later paid £150 if he had left the store and “aborted the (surveillance) mission”.
He was also asked why his “best friend”, Cech, had carried out an attack without telling him.
Didi said: “I don’t know. Probably he was worried I might stop him.”
The dad, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of paying six others to attack the boy in a bid to shame his estranged wife.
Prosecutors say he hoped to show she was an unfit mother who could not protect her children in order to try and win custody of them.
