(NCA NewsWire) An Islamic State-inspired fanatic known for cruel attacks on fellow inmates has had his sentence cut after a court was found to have made errors when sentencing him.
But Bourhan Hraichie, 25, whose crimes include carving an IS slogan into a man’s forehead and attempting an “exorcism” on another, still has decades to go before he’s eligible for parole.
Hraichie will remain behind bars until at least October 2046, an appeals judge declared on Wednesday.
His lengthy sentence was imposed to punish a series of serious crimes.
The Sydney-born extremist was doing time for a break-and-enter when he committed his first attack on a cellmate in 2016.
