LA CORUNA, Spain, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- A man told a Spanish court that he poured acid on the faces of three children and two women to get back at the judge who imprisoned him.
Agustin U.C., 60, said he meant to attack the children of the judge, who put him in prison for physically assaulting his wife.
But Agustin turned himself in after realizing he had targeted the wrong children, The Local.es reported.
The attack took place at a school bus stop in La Coruna, Spain, in February 2012.
Agustin U.C. saw the children getting off the school bus, pulled out a bottle of corrosive liquid and poured it all over their faces, The Local.es reported.
The mothers of the children were also harmed.
The children, ages six, seven and nine, have undergone several operations since the attack.
The public prosecutor's office is asking for 23 years in prison, while the defense is asking for an acquittal based on Augustin's confession and his psychological state, The Local.es said.
