"Both men showed a "savage disregard for their victims", Det Con Alan Reed from British Transport Police said.
This is one of the most appalling incidents I have investigated.
It is no exaggeration to say the brothers could have been killed after being thrown on to the tracks"
Why weren't this pair charged with attempted murder?

Maybe CPS felt they lacked the intention to kill?
I don't see how anyone could think that given they pushed a bloke on to a train track.There are times when out of total bewilderment I'd like to be able to read their interview transcripts or the transcript from the dock just to hear their version events as it's staggering that someone can do something so totally fked up.
Those sentences are a joke. I don't think attempted murder versus ABH is really the issue. It was a vicious attack with a clear disregard for life, even if not an actual intention to kill, and deserves a much stronger sentence in it's own right. 10 years at a minimum. Assuming they've both served time on remand I guess both will be out within 6 mnths.
