Belfast victim was drugged and set on fire in previous attack
Stephen Ogilvie lost an eye after he was attacked in Belfast
The victim of a knife attack in Belfast was set on fire by a man he was living with years prior.
Stephen Ogilvie, 44, lost an eye among other ‘significant injuries’ after he was allegedly attacked by 30-year-old Hadi Alodid on Monday.
The incident has sparked a wave of violent protests across Belfast, which have seen buses set on fire, homes deliberately targeted by thugs, and schools and businesses closed.
In 2001 he was staying in Livingston, West Lothian, with convicted drug dealer David McLeave, who drugged Mr Ogilvie and put a lit cigarette between his toes.

McLeave then removed Mr Ogilvie’s clothes, covered him in aftershave and set him on fire.
Mr Ogilvie then woke up to find his head and groin on fire, having had the incident recorded on video.
The victim later returned to Northern Ireland and was forced into a car by McLeave’s associates, Barry and Paul Campbell.

He then told authorities he feared for his life.
McLeave was jailed for 14 years in April 2003 at the High Court in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile Paul Campbell, plus fellow accomplices Thomas Irvine, Edward Lindsay and Lee Kingham, 21, were jailed for drug offences while Barry Campbell was sentenced to an additional six years for his part in the abduction and for possessing a rifle without a licence.
The men claimed at the time to be linked to the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a paramilitary group operating across Northern Ireland.
Alodid has been remanded in custody after he appeared in court charged with attempted murder, possession of an article with a blade in a public place, and threats to kill.
