Two ‘sadistic’ brothers behind horrific attack on young boys will never be named after court ruling
Pair were just ten and 11 when they lured their victims, then nine and 11, to a secluded spot in Edlington, South Yorks, in 2009
TWO “sadistic” brothers behind an horrific 90-minute attack on two young boys will never be named a judge has ruled.
The pair were just ten and 11 when they lured their victims, then nine and 11, to a secluded spot in Edlington, South Yorks, in 2009.
They throttled them, hit them with bricks, stripped them and forced them to sexually abuse each other.
A judge sentenced them to indefinite custody with a minimum of five years after they admitted grievous bodily harm.
London’s High Court heard the pair are now free and have new identities.
But the father of the older victim has voiced his concerns that the pair would re-offend.
He said: "It's inhuman, what they did.
"Nobody would do that to another person unless there was something seriously wrong with their heads.
"People want to know who is living next to them - if they have maniacs down the road."
The brothers were released after the Parole Board decided they were no longer a public threat.
