History
In 2017, members of 12World harassed the grandmother of 1011 member Micah Bedeau, also known as Horrid1 or Huncho; the incident resulted in him and other 1011 members planning a ride-out against 12World, which was stopped by their arrest in November the same year.[3] In 2018, Xeneral Imiuru (alias Xeneral Webster),[8] also known as General and a member of 12World,[9][10] was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the death of Joanne Rand, considered the first death from an acid attack in the UK.[11] He was later sentenced to life in 2020 for attacking a 50-year old prison officer.[12]
