Three men have been reprimanded for taking "vigilante-style" retribution against two relatives who were involved in pouring boiling water on a young man, leaving him with extensive burns.
Mackay District Court heard that in an act of revenge, two brothers, Nigel Kaine Purcell, 36, and Alandos James Purcell, 34, with their mother's partner Wayne David Emmerson, 47, broke into the victims' North Queensland home in November last year.
