Two "barbaric" men have each been given life sentences for beating a couple and dousing them with boiling water during a burglary at their home.
John and Janis Buswell were tied up with cable ties and tortured during a two-hour ordeal in Halstead, Kent.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard they were also threatened with a knife and a hot iron last April.
Daniel Wallace, 33, and Kacey Adams, 34, were told they would serve a minimum of seven-and-a-half-years each.
'Permanently disfigured'
In a victim impact statement, Mrs Buswell said: "What these criminals did to me was barbaric."

Hi Dude. They probably did tell them where the valuables were and the safe code if they could talk or communicate after the shock. These scumbags were having sick fun and i hope it is returned in some way ?
Mr Buswell, 66, had been watching TV and his wife, 64, was knitting clothes for her expected great-grandchild when the intruders smashed their way into their bungalow in London Road at about 21:00 BST, demanding the codes to their safes.

I was just guessing they were being tortured for the goods. I was right, from the link you brought:

What does this have to do with the topic, the light sentences given to the criminals?
Are you trying to alter the topic?

Life imprisonment doesn't compare to the mental torment, depression and pain these two victims have to face for the rest of their lives. When crimes are committed that are just so barbaric, brutal and just plain evil, the guilty should face the same exact torment they gave their victims! I really have no sympathy for criminals who would do such evil, nor would I consider tormenting them cruel and unusual punishment.
Maybe if we lived by the law of retaliation "an eye for an eye" and used the death penalty in cases where there is absolutely no doubt the individual did the crime, criminals would think twice before murdering and tormenting innocent people.

Kind of an odd insult.
