The Evening Standard reports:
Two 17-year-old gang members who boasted they 'always get bail' walked free from court despite torturing a boy for two and a half hours.
They beat the 15-year-old unconscious outside Stepney Green Tube station and dragged him to a block of flats where they terrorised him with a home-made flame thrower and threatened to cut off his fingers.
Snaresbrook crown court heard how they and their gang committed further muggings and attacks. In one a 13-year-old boy was left with a fractured eye socket.
The 17-year-olds admitted robbery, violent disorder and assault causing actual bodily harm. They were sentenced to two-year rehabilitation orders. The judge described their attack on the boy as "incredibly terrifying".
