LONDON
14/10/03 - News and city sectionJailed for passing HIV
By Paul Cheston and Richard Edwards, Evening Standard
A man who knowingly infected two women with the Aids virus was today convicted of grievous bodily harm.
Mohammed Dica, 37, callously tricked his lovers into unprotected sex even though he had been HIV positive since 1995. He faces up to 10 years in jail.
The historic verdict, the first of its kind in English law, was greeted with tears from his two victims who were in court. Doctors say the women may have only seven years to live and police suspect Dica may have conned many more.
The court heard that he told the first woman he had had a vasectomy and deceived his second victim with lies about starting a family.
Dica, a married father of three of Mitcham who is a refugee from Somalia, had denied the charges and told detectives that both women had known of his condition. But a jury at Inner London Crown Court took just over two hours to find him guilty of "biological" grievous bodily harm.
He will be sentenced next month by judge Nicholas Philpot who warned him he was likely to be "going to prison and for a long time".
During the trial the jury heard that Dica targeted vulnerable women, charming them with restaurant meals and empty boasts that he was a lawyer specialising in immigration and a Gulf War veteran fluent in 10 languages.
His first victim was a university graduate who worked for the United Nations. Dica claimed that she could have become infected through a blood transfusion, which she denied.
His second victim, known in court only as Deborah to protect her identity, is a mother of two from Surrey.
She told jurors as they left court today: "I thank you very much."
Hugged by her mother and father, who clambered over chairs in the public gallery to embrace her, she said: "There is justice after all. I am just so pleased it's over. Life is good, life is for me and my children from now on. I was weak before but now I am strong.
"He can no longer carry on wrecking lives with impunity."
Mark Gadsden, prosecuting, told the court "there is not a snowball's chance in hell" of any truth in Dica's claims that his victims knew he was carrying the virus when they slept with him.
Mr Gadsden told the jury that Dica was "criminally responsible for infecting these two women... coldly and callously".
He said that even though Dica himself would die from the virus, "he does not deserve your sympathy. "Detectives describe Dica as an arrogant man with no justification at all for his claims to be a lawyer or a company director.
Jeremy Carter-Manning, QC, defending, said there were "no direct precedents" for this case "litigated in this country before".
Dica's lawyers announced he would appeal.
Outside court Detective Sergeant Jo Goodall said: "I admire the courage of these two women for coming forward."
She added: "Today's verdicts mean that those who are not prepared to take responsibility for themselves and who continue recklessly to infect sexual partners with this fatal disease will in future face prosecution."
""deliberately Murdering their partners In The Name of Love""..
Despicable perverts at least, Serial Murderers in fact!
AIDS and HIV carriers are a Nation Health Disaster to our entire population, rekindling old airborne diseases, and rendering our city, state, and national healthcare budgets bankrupt!

Does it make a difference the women know he's infected and he passes a deadly disease?
If these women had known and accepted that he was going to shoot them in the forehead with a .45, would he have been able to walk away? I don't think so. It's murder in any case.
ANY HIV + who is having sex with anyone should be put in jail for attempted murder, WHETHER the person consents to it or not.
For the same reason that I'd want jailed for attempted murder someone who was shooting at my neighbor daily, even if the neighbor was part of the deadly game.
Exactly right. He should be given a week to make his peace with God before making the acquaintance of the local hangman.
As for his victims, I take no pleasure in their misfortune. That said, nobody forced them to conduct themselves like harlots or to engage in unsafe sex in an era when only the severely retarded are unaware of the AIDS epidemic. They staked everything they had on a shake of the dice and for what? For what?
