Men jailed for forcing man to urinate on partner in terrifying home invasion
The court hears a man was forced at gunpoint to urinate on his partner and walk her like a dog while their children were upstairs.
Two men have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms for a brutal home invasion in central Victoria, Australia. Joshua Snow, 29, and Joshua Day, in his 30s, forced a man to urinate on his female partner, tied an extension cord around her neck, and made him walk her like a dog. The men, who had consumed methamphetamine, entered the home armed with sawn-off shotguns and brandished them at the victims.
The woman was punched and forced to sign over her car. Snow threatened to burn the couple's children alive if they reported the crime. Both men pleaded guilty and have already served over two years in custody. Judge John Kelly described the attack as "cartoonishly gratuitous" and noted the men's history of violent and anti-social offenses, calling their prospects of rehabilitation "dim."
The judge emphasized the severity of the crime and its impact on the victims, particularly the children.
