Two teenage brothers who savagely beat a dad with logs as he tried to protect a schoolboy can be named for the first time after a judge lifted reporting restrictions.
Archie and George Tilley were jailed for 12 years for a remorseless, sustained, vicious and frenzied group attack which shattered the skull of former carer Alan Willson, 47.
Their attack following a row over a frisbee continued when Mr Willson was bloodied, incapacitated and on the ground, a judge said. Their identities can now be revealed following an application by journalists.
And what lovely specimens they are too...
Scum...
George Tilley was only 13-years-old and brother Archie 14 when they attacked Mr Willson with a force Her Honour Judge Christine Henson QC described as beyond the comprehension of most people.
Sadly, it's not. We see it so very often.
Mr Willson was in hospital for three months. Asked about his recovery, wife Annie Willson said: “He has recovered as much as he’s going to.
“He will never speak again. He has no mental capacity although it fluctuates. He is continent but not always.
“He is the most frustrated person I’ve ever seen because on the days when he has capacity, he knows what he wants to say but he can’t say it.”
Even if they served every day of what they were sentenced to, and we know they won't, they'll still be young men when they come out. I ask you, is this justice?
Are these the types of "children" that police get criticised for using tasers on ? Or any sort of force?
ReplyDeleteJaded.
And with animals like this loose in society we can't understand why the American people won't give up the right to carry weapons. These dangerous thugs will be back on the streets in about 5 years, just hope your not their next victim. Oh sorry I forgot our none existent police will always be there to protect you won't they?
ReplyDeleteAs their sentence will be reduced by half for 'good behaviour'
ReplyDeleteas soon as the prison van drives through the gates, they will be in their early 20's when released and I have often said there is very little connection between law and justice. One can only hope that they each share a cell with the local Big Bubba who is missing hugs and kisses. Now, THAT would be a step towards justice.

ReplyDeleteSpot on!

I've always understood why. But not why we don't have the same opportunity.

It's a joke. Why can't the ASA get involved? Heavy fines for court PR staff might concentrate minds...
