The sentencing of a teenager who admitted the manslaughter of a nurse who died after she was splashed from “head to toe” in acid during a fight in High Wycombe town centre has been delayed.

Dementia nurse Joanne Rand, from Marlow, died from blood poisoning 11 days after running screaming in pain to a nearby fast food restaurant in Frogmoor, High Wycombe, to douse herself in water after receiving chemical burns which later became infected.

Xeneral Webster was on trial for the murder of the 47-year-old – but admitted manslaughter after arming himself with the maximum strength acid he had intended to use to injure another man he was in dispute with.

The 19-year-old was due to be sentenced on June 15 but the hearing has been delayed until the end of July while defence lawyers source further reports.

The hearing has been rescheduled for July 31.
