Gang rape brothers Bilal and Mohammed Skaf get jail cut
News Limited ^ | December 17, 2008

NEW South Wales Premier Nathan Rees wants to appeal the reduction in the sentences given to brothers Bilal and Mohammed Skaf over the gang rape of a teenage girl.

"I'm just off the phone to the acting attorney-general (Verity Firth) to see if we can appeal that decision, and if we can, we will," he said.

"This is exactly the sort of decision by the judiciary that gives rise to claims in the community that the judiciary is out of touch."

Bilal Skaf, 26, and his 25-year-old brother, Mohammed, were appealing their convictions and sentences for the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl at Gosling Park Greenacre, in Sydney's west in August 2000.

They failed to overturn the convictions but had their sentences reduced.

The cut prompted outrage from "Darren", the father of a teenage girl identified only as Miss C who was raped at Bankstown by a pack including the Skaf brothers just two weeks after the Gosling Park offence.

"It's unbelievable," Darren said after hearing of today's sentence cut.

"I don't get it, what's the go with judges and their court of criminal appeal? Do they love it? What's the go here?

During the Gosling Park appeal, the Skafs' lawyers had argued there was no long-term physical injury suffered by that victim.

I think their “private” parts should be cut off and fed to a hungry pig right in front of them. Would set an example to other muslim thugs.

Bilal Skaf originally would have become eligible for release on parole in February 2033.

But the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal today allowed his sentence challenge, bringing forward his earliest release date to February 2031.

Mohammed Skaf originally was eligible for release on parole in July 2019, but his new eligibility date is now 18 months earlier - January 2018.

I would like to see them serve their time in a muslim jail. Indonesia for example...would be nice. Sleep in a sewer and eat cockroaches with rice.

How long before we start seeing vigilante justice doles out to these animals, since our existing justice system seem to be insufficient to the task?
