Faces of evil
29/ 4/2008
THESE are the faces of the teen brothers jailed for their parts in an horrific attack on a young man dressed as a Goth.
Joseph Hulme, 17, and his brother Danny, 16, who are both from Shawforth, were each sentenced to almost six years in jail for their part in the assault on Robert Maltby.
The brothers can now be named for the first time after a judge lifted an order banning the press from identifying them. He described the attack as ‘the worst case’ of grievous bodily harm he had encountered in 30 years.
Two other boys were jailed for life for the murder of Mr Maltby’s girlfriend, Sophie Lancaster, during the attack in a park in Bacup in August last year.
Sophie, 20, was kicked and stamped to death as she begged the pair to stop beating her boyfriend.
