A monstrous couple who tried to murder their friend in a sickening torture-style attack have been jailed for a total of 50 years.
Jon Hamblin and Jessica Whinham subjected their guest, Paul Binks, to a horrifying ordeal, in which he was stabbed in his sleep and left with his intestines hanging out. He was then strangled with a cord before he was put in a bath and told he would be drowned.
Hamblin and Whinham tried to blame each other for what police labelled "inhuman" violence but were both convicted of attempted murder last year. Now Hamblin has been locked up for 29 years while Whinham got 21 years.
