Man Convicted of Infecting Women With HIV

'He told them from the very beginning he was HIV positive. He's a very honest person.' [said his wife . . . on whom he was cheating] . . . .

Dica, who charmed his victims by posing as a wealthy lawyer, was found guilty of two counts of " biological grievous bodily harm" in the first conviction of its kind. He faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. . . .

Dica tricked his first victim, a 37-year-old university graduate who worked for the United Nations, by telling her he had undergone a vasectomy.

He deceived his second victim, a 38-year-old mother of two from Surrey, known only as Deborah, with lies about love and starting a family.

Today Mrs Dica refused to reveal why her husband of 18 years had embarked on an apparent campaign of revenge a year after he was diagnosed HIV positive in 1995.

While he roamed clubs and bars in south London looking for women to seduce, she would stay at home looking after their boys, aged 13, nine and six.
