A man has pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary and causing grievous bodily harm to academic Paul Kohler in his Wimbledon home last month.

Appearing in Kingston Crown Court yesterday, Paul Honc, 23, admitted his role in the violent burglary which left Mr Kohler with 'life-changing’ injuries to his face and double vision.

Polish national Mr Honc, of no fixed address, is one of three men charged with aggravated burglary and GBH during the shocking incident on Monday, August 11.

Mariusz Tomaszewski, 32, of Crusoe Road, Mitcham, is due to enter his plea at Kingston Crown Court in November alongside Oskar Pawlowichz, 29, who was arrested in Herefordshire on Tuesday, September 9.
