Two Pakistani Muslims convicted in a series of horrific gang rapes in Sydney will be spending a bit more time in jail, after more rapes were discovered: Increased terms for gang rapists. (Hat tip: Terp Mole.)

TWO convicted gang rapists have had their jail terms increased with fresh sentences over a series of 2002 attacks in Sydney.

The Pakistani brothers – who can only be referred to as MSK and MAK – are already serving lengthy jail terms for the violent gang rape of two girls in July 2002.

NSW Supreme Court Justice Peter Hidden today added a minimum of five years to MSK’s sentence and a minimum two extra years to his brother’s jail term for two other rapes, also committed in 2002.

Their younger brother, MMK, who was 15 at the time, was also handed a 12-month sentence, to be served concurrently and in juvenile detention, for having consensual sex with an underage girl on the night of one of the rapes. The rapes involved two girls, TW and CH, aged 14 and 13, at the brother’s Ashfield home in June 2002.

Justice Hidden rejected evidence from MSK, who is now 27, that his cultural background influenced his actions.

He also dismissed submissions that MSK, the eldest of the brothers, suffered from auditory hallucinations and that “satanic voices” told him to rape the girls.
