Echoes of Reservoir Dogs as camper's severed ear found
A YOUNG man's ear, which was cut off during a horrifying assault on a group of young people as they camped in a park, has been found.
The gruesome discovery was made late on Wednesday night, close to the spot where the injured man was found with life-threatening head injuries.
Sources close to the investigation are not able to say whether or not the man had been subjected to torture similar to a scene in the film Reservoir Dogs.
He is still fighting for his life in hospital.
One man and two youths are still in custody being questioned in on suspicion of robbery and attempted murder in connection with the case.
The 26-year-old was one of a group of about 20 young goths who were camping on parkland close to the John O'Gaunts estate in Rothwell, east of Leeds, when they were viciously attacked. Four of the group were stabbed and two of the girls were robbed at knifepoint. Two of the four injured men suffered serious injuries.
It is believed the group had travelled up to the John O'Gaunts area at around 8pm on Wednesday and were having a barbecue, drinking and listening to music.
Police said a number of attacks took place at different times and at different locations, before one of the group made a frantic call to police. The most violent of the incidents resulted in the man's ear being severed.
