Two of Britain's worst rapists Joseph McCann and Reynard Sinaga get extra 10 years each in jail but Appeal Court judges REFUSE to give them whole life sentences
- McCann, 35, handed 33 life sentences at the Old Bailey in December for attacks
- Sinaga, 37, was also sentenced to life in January at Manchester Crown Court
- Pair have had their minimum jail terms increased from 30 to 40 years today
Notorious rapists Joseph McCann and Reynard Sinaga have had their minimum jail terms increased from 30 to 40 years by the Court of Appeal.
McCann, 35, was given 33 life sentences at the Old Bailey in December for a string of horrific sex attacks on 11 women and children during a 15-day cocaine and vodka-fuelled rampage.
Sinaga, 37, was also sentenced to life in January at Manchester Crown Court for a total of 159 offences, including 136 counts of rape, committed against 48 men - although police have linked him to more than 190 potential victims.
The Attorney General's Office referred the 30-year minimum jail terms handed to McCann and Sinaga to the Court of Appeal as 'unduly lenient' earlier this year.
But a panel of five judges today refused to impose whole life terms on McCann and Sinaga, as sought by the Solicitor General Michael Ellis QC at a hearing in October.
