Six jailed for caging and abusing two young brothers

SIX people have been convicted of child abuse and sentenced to prison in a case where two young brothers were put in a cage and tortured by their mother.

Judge Pavel Goeth yesterday sentenced the mother to nine years in prison and her sister to 10 years. The others all received sentences of at least five years.

The prosecution said the brothers were kept in the cage for a year and tortured, with the intention to “break the boys’ will.”
