Two men involved in the gang-rape of a 16-year-old girl who was doused in caustic soda at the end of her "nightmare ordeal" have had their jail sentences increased by the Court of Appeal.

Three judges in London ruled the terms being served by Rogel McMorris, 18, and Jason Brew, 19, who were jailed at London's Wood Green Crown Court on January 19, were "unduly lenient".

McMorris had his sentence increased from nine years to 14 years, while Brew had his six-year sentence raised to nine years.
