They were locked up at Leeds Crown Court for inflicting the 'dreadful injuries'
Whitaker, of Bradford, and Hanbury of nearby Shipley, were both sentenced to 30 years each, with an additional five years on extended licence on their sentences.
Three men have been jailed after cutting off a man's leg. Max Lambert, 34, Liam Whitaker, 39 and Liam Hanbury, 41, have all been jailed for 30 years after attacking their victim with a machete and an axe. Detective inspector Rob Stevens said that the men 'inflicted dreadful injuries' on the victim in a 'clear attempt to commit murder.'
He said:"These three men inflicted dreadful injuries on their victim in what was a brutal assault which we and two jury’s believed was a clear attempt to commit murder. "Their attack on the victim resulted in him suffering life changing injuries and the savagery of their attack has been reflected in the very substantial sentences handed down by the courts. These men were swiftly tracked down and arrested in a comprehensive police investigation following the attack and I hope the victim can take some comfort from seeing these men jailed for such lengthy periods.
