Two teenage brothers, who spent less than a year in youth detention for a brutal racial attack on a group of Indians which left one of the victims with permanent brain injuries, will not spend any further time in custody, an Australian court ruled on Wednesday.
Victorian county court judge Christine Thornton said the 12-month detention order for the brothers, now aged 17 and 18 respectively, by the Children's Court last year over the 2008 incident, was lenient but should stand because of the delay in bringing an appeal against the sentence, AAP reported.
