Body-fluid spray man in court

A man appeared in court yesterday charged with carrying out a urine-spraying campaign at two supermarkets, a pub and a book shop.

Sahnoun Daifallah, 42, is alleged to have squirted a "foul-smelling" substance on to frozen chips and over wine bottles at Tesco in Gloucester. He is also said to have carried out a similar attack in Morrisons four miles away on the same day.

Prosecutor Liz Thomas claimed that, two days earlier, Daifallah used an improvised device to shower hundreds of children's books at Waterstones in Cirencester.

That day he is also said to have released the liquid over food in the Air Balloon pub, near Cheltenham.

Ms Thomas said the total damage came to £10,000, although the eventual bill for cleaning up the supermarkets and replacing the food would come to hundred of thousands of pounds.

Daifallah, of Bibury Road, Gloucester, indicated not guilty pleas to four charges of contaminating products between May 14 and May 16 this year.
