Stop Press - Sentence Increased From 10 Yrs To LIFE (with a minimum of 6 years)!!!

5th March 2014

Well done, for once!

Lithuanian had only been in Britain for a month before the brutal attack
Came to the UK after completing a 10-year jail term for rape





A convicted rapist who carried out a 'brutal' sex attack on a woman one month after arriving in the UK from Lithuania has had his 'unduly lenient' prison term overturned and replaced with a life sentence.

Gintas Burinskas, 36, dragged a woman off a street in Northampton and violently assaulted her just four months after he completed he was released from 10-year jail prison sentence in his home country for rape.


Last April, he pleaded guilty to rape and  grievous bodily harm at Northampton Crown Court and was handed another 10-year sentence.


But Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas and two other judges increased the original jail term during a hearing at the Court of Appeal.


They agreed with submissions made on behalf of Attorney General Dominic Grieve that the sentence was unduly lenient.

Today, Lord Thomas announced the court had quashed the original sentence, replacing it with a life sentence with a minimum term of six years.

He said: 'This was a very serious, sustained, brutal attack by a very dangerous man on a vulnerable woman at night.'

Giving details of the offences, Lord Thomas said Burinskas, who was released from prison in Lithuania in August, 2012, walked up behind his victim and grabbed her round the throat.

The judge said: 'He put his hands around her neck and squeezed her throat. She fought him, and shouted, but he increased the pressure on her throat and she lost consciousness.
