Mum, Julie Roberts asked sons Andrew Mullan, 19, and Sean Roberts, 17, to help David Clough after spotting him staggering home in Armley, Leeds, just after midnight last November 3.

Leeds Crown Court heard the brothers, who had each downed six cans of lager at a party, started helping Mr Clough get home to Heights Drive.
But he was drunk and allegedly abusive, and they brutally beat him, kicking and stamping on his head leaving their footprints in blood on his face.

Mr Clough suffered a skull fracture, brain injury, broken nose and extensive bruising.

Branding the attack "disgraceful, vicious and nasty", Judge Ian Dobkin lifted reporting restrictions allowing Roberts – just 16 at the time of the attack – to be identified.
Judge Dobkin sent Mullan to a young offenders institution for three years and handed Roberts a two year detention and training order.

Mullan and Roberts, both of Claremont Place, Leeds had admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Judge Dobkin told them: "It seems quite extraordinary that your mother should have sent you out to help him and you ended up beating him. I don't understand it.
"What we do know is that you behaved in a disgraceful, vicious, nasty and violent way."

James Lake, for Roberts, said the attack was not planned and his client was provoked.

Alun Jones, for Mullan, said: "He's ashamed of his actions."

The court heard after the beating the youths returned to the party and Roberts, who had taken Mr Clough's wallet, returned and placed it on his chest.
