A Christian who battered his cross-dressing gay teenage flatmate in his sleep and left a claw hammer embedded in his brain has been sent to a high security hospital after being found guilty of attempted murder.

Connor Huntley suffered ‘life-changing’ injuries and a chunk of his skull was removed after the brutal homophobic attack in the house he shared with Joseph Williams.

His 21-year-old attacker was sentenced to 14 years in prison at the Old Bailey today, with the judge saying it was only the skill of medics who prevented Mr Huntley from dying.

Williams, who came from a Catholic background, had previously made disparaging remarks about gay men, whilst in contrast Mr Huntley was openly gay and often wore women’s clothes and make-up.

The court heard Williams picked up a hammer and went into the bedroom of his sleeping flatmate, who was just 18 at the time, in Margate on May 28 last year.

Holy shit, some people are despicable human beings.

Not saying 14 years isn't a significant punishment, but the guy bludgeoned his roommate for being gay, requiring part of the guys skull to be removed. Dude should have gotten a bit more time.

Damn, that's fucked up. The sad thing is that people like that never change.

The real question is, how did these two become flatmates?

What do you think would be a more appropriate length?  I'm honestly just very curious.  When you think about it 14 years to a 21 year old is a very long time.

It's all based on the count of felony

Attempted murder is classified as a class 2 felony (1 being the worst type of crime) and because the crime was committed with a deadly weapon, the minimum is 7 years with the maximum of 21. 25 years would be out of the ball park, unless if it somehow was a class 1 felony

14 years is a ridiculous amount of time and will probably institutionalise the guy.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
Holy shit how can you smile after something like that.
Kudos to this guy, incredible that he managed to live after something so horrific.
