A sadist who enjoyed devising new methods of torture to inflict pain on his children has been locked up for nine years.
A judge told the fanatical Christian preacher that his campaign of long-term, calculated cruelty was “almost beyond belief”.
The man’s wife, also a Christian extremist, was jailed for six years.

Judge Christopher Prince described her as “a strong and forceful personality” who chose to do nothing to protect her two sons from their tyrannical father.
The couple were led to the cells in handcuffs at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.
Both sat impassively in the dock with their arms folded as the judge passed sentence. Neither can be named because of the need to protect the identity of their sons, aged 13 and 11.
During a ten-week trial, the jury heard harrowing evidence from the boys, who were mutilated, bound and beaten at their Bradford home.

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself.
