UK urine spray man gets nine years

An Algerian-born chemist who contaminated food and wine in Gloucestershire supermarkets with his own urine and faeces has been sent to prison for nine years.

The BBC reports that Sahnoun Daifallah, 42, of Bibury Road, Gloucester, (right, sorta as shown from the BBC) was found guilty of four counts of contaminating goods at four businesses in May 2008.

The court heard shoppers and staff in both stores saw Daifallah with a black laptop computer with a vapour coming from the bag being sprayed on the shelves.

The cost of damaged products and lost business due to resulting store closures was estimated at £700,000.
