A man suffered severe facial burns after boiling water was allegedly poured over him in north Belfast, a court heard today.
He was also stamped on during an attack which led to him being put in a medically-induced coma, it was claimed.
Details emerged as 41-year-old Kevin Murray, of Stanhope Street in the city, was charged with his attempted murder.
Belfast Magistrates Court heard paramedics found the victim, aged in his twenties, inside a corner shop in the Carrick Hill area on Sunday night.
Crown lawyer Stephanie Boyd said: He was bleeding on the floor, and the skin on his forehead, throat, neck and lips was red and flaking off.
