Confinement case sentence handed down

A sentence has been handed down in a brutal child abuse case in Hamilton.

Thursday morning, a Hamilton judge sentenced a mother, her boyfriend and grandmother to two years less a day for confining two young boys to their basement and failing to provide the necessities of life.

The three were charged last year after police found the boys in a dark and disgusting basement room in the family's Stoney Creek home.

The walls were covered in feces -- and there were dead rats on the floor.

The defence has indicated that they see the sentence as excessive and may appeal.

Lisa Hepfner has more from the Sopinka Courthouse.
