Barbaric burglars tortured couple

TWO “BARBARIC” burglars tied up a couple and poured boiling water over a woman’s head before jetting to Dubai on a spending spree, a court heard.

Kacey Adams, 34, and 33-yearold Daniel Wallace smashed their way into their victims’ bungalow in Halstead near Sevenoaks, Kent.

Janis Buswell, 64, had been knitting clothes for her expected great grandchild, who was born the month after the attack, and her 66-year-old husband John was watching a boxing match on the TV.

The men tied up Mr and Mrs Buswell with cable ties before subjecting them to two hours of torture to demand the codes to their safes, said prosecutor Tracy Ayling QC.

Adams and Wallace, together with a third man who has never been caught, made off with around £50,000 on April 26, 2016.

They were arrested on a flight back from Dubai in May 2016, and their luggage was found to contain more than £18,000 of luxury goods.

Shoes and clothing from brands including Gucci and Versace were seized, along with electronics.

Adams, formerly of Hainault, Ilford, London, and Wallace, of no fixed address, both admitted aggravated burglary and causing grievous bodily harm with intent at an earlier hearing at Maidstone Crown Court.

Judge Charles Gratwicke is expected to sentence the men at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday. Adams and Wallace also stand to be sentenced for a driveby shooting in Stanford-Le-Hope, Essex, in May 2016.
