A Man Was Tortured For SIX HOURS By Sadistic Thugs

A gang of barbaric criminals who tortured a man with a flamethrower, knives and boiling salt water for six hours has been imprisoned.

Dangerous Charlie Saunter, William O’Brien, and Kai Haruna attacked their victim in a drugs-related row.

Charlie Saunter, 23, along with his younger accomplices William O’Brien and Kai Haruna, both 20, also subjected the man to burns, dog bites and genital mutilation in a flat in Gravesend, Kent on July 5, 2020.

Police said that Kai Haruna repeatedly jumped on the victim’s chest until he passed out, while William O’Brien used his dog to stop the man from escaping.

Footage of the sickening abuse was shared online before being uncovered by detectives days later. Now, the trio of violent criminals have been jailed for a combined total of 35 years.

Detectives Constable John Carless, of Kent Police’s County Line and Gangs Team, said that these men were violent and dangerous criminals with zero regard for the law, and said that Haruna, O’Brien, and Saunter planned and launched a lengthy attack on their victim, subjecting him to vicious torture techniques over a period of six hours.

A sentencing hearing at Maidstone Crown Court, Kent, heard the trio had tortured their victim in a disagreement over money or the supply of drugs in July 2020.

Two days after the attack, Kent Police obtained video evidence of the incident which had been shared on social media and arrested the trio that same day.

While arresting the attackers, officers seized two knives as well as quantities of heroin and cocaine.

One of the officers was also wounded after being bitten by a dog during the arrests.

All three young men were charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, which Saunter and Haruna both admitted. However, O’Brien had initially denied this charge but subsequently changed his plea to guilty.

Saunter admitted another charge of possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.

Their sentences also dealt with two different cases, concerning thefts and other acts of brutality.

Saunter, of Pevensey in East Sussex, was jailed for 13 years and six months, whilst O’Brien, of Greenwich, was given 11 years and Haruna, of Grove Park, London, was given eight years and three months.

All three will serve at least two-thirds of their jail time before they’re even able to apply for parole, and all will be subject to an extended licence period of four years upon their release.

Again this is pathetic sentencing by a judge. These people should have been incarcerated for a much longer prison term with no parole.

Sentencing these days for crimes like this are a complete joke.

The criminals clearly didn’t show any guilt or accountability for what they’d done and should have got a much lengthier sentence, and anybody that harms another living human being or even takes a life, because this man’s life will never be the same again should have been given life imprisonment because life should mean life with no parole.

To be honest, words fail me. These people are the scum of the earth and they should be locked up permanently. Not only did they harm another human being but they had drugs with the intention to sell, and they don’t just sell them to adults, they sell them to kids as well.

Our so-called justice system is totally broken and requires a complete overhaul.

It would have also been nice if we’d been told how the victim was. I would say I hope that he makes a complete recovery, but something like this, you’re never going to make a full recovery – for pity’s sake, they mutilated his man parts and he’s now disabled for life, not just physically but mentally as well.
