hree men found guilty of kidnapping, occasioning bodily harm and endangering the life of a Kalgoorlie-Boulder teenager 13 months ago will be sentenced this Friday.
Michael McKay Starr, Dallas Ross Eriha and Joseph Davison Williams have been convicted over the attack.
Starr pleaded not guilty to four charges but was convicted of deprivation of liberty, assault occasioning bodily harm and endangering life or health.
He was acquitted of grievous bodily harm. Eriha and Dallas admitted similar charges, including grievous bodily harm. Eriha faces one extra charge of assault occasioning bodily harm.
But Michael Mckay Starr was found not guilty of grievous bodily harm, which stemmed from serious injuries to the 17-year-old’s hands after being struck with a hammer by co-accused Dallas Eriha.
The youth was kidnapped from a local Caltex Service Station by Starr, Eriha and Joseph Williams last year on April 18.
He was assaulted inside a Lane Street hostel before being driven into the bush were he was crippled with broken bones after being urinated on, strung upside down on a crane with his hands and feet bound, punched, kicked and beaten with a claw hammer and tyre iron.
