Six men jailed for their roles in an extreme body modification ring which saw its leader have his penis cut off with a kitchen knife can challenge the length of their sentences, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
Marius Gustavson, Janus Atkin, David Carruthers, Ashley Williams, Damien Byrne and Jacob Crimi-Appleby were jailed for their involvement in the enterprise, which carried out male castration, penis removal and other “grisly” procedures on an unprecedented scale on people as young as 16.
Barristers for the six men – whose sentences range from four years to life with a minimum term of 22 years – have asked the Court of Appeal for the green light to challenge the length of the jail terms.
In a short hearing on Tuesday, three senior judges said an appeal against the sentences could take place.
