Brothers John and Mark Gibbons were jailed yesterday (Monday, June 17) for a total of more than 23 years after breaking into the rural home near Malton in balaclavas.
They repeatedly punched both victims in the head, knocking the man to the floor, and threatened to use scissors and a cheese grater to mutilate the woman’s face. Both sustained bad facial injuries.
