Torture boys' jail term stays

THE government's chief law officer has decided not to challenge the sentences handed down to two brothers who tortured two young boys.

Last month, the attackers, now aged 11 and 12, were sentenced to indefinite detention with a minimum term of five years for the brutal assault near Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

The Attorney General, Baroness Scotland, was urged to refer the sentences to the Court of Appeal. But in a statement she said: "The judge was clearly correct. I agree with his analysis and with the minimum terms he set."
