<p>Increased jail sentences have been handed out to three men who sexually attacked women during burglaries in homes they were entitled to regard as &#8220;safe havens&#8221;.</p>
<p>Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge, sitting at the Appeal Court in London with Mr Justice Henriques and Mr Justice Davis, ruled that their original terms were &#8220;unduly lenient&#8221;.</p>
<p>In the case of Michael Anigbugu, 34, of Tottenham, north London, who twice raped a 37-year-old woman in her home during a burglary at night and threatened to kill her if she told police, the judges increased his eight-year prison sentence to 15 years.</p>
<p>Hyung-Woo Pyo, 23, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, who tied up, gagged, blindfolded and raped a fellow Loughborough University student in her halls of residence bedroom and stole property from his 20-year-old victim, also had his eight-year term replaced with a sentence of 15 years.</p>
<p>The court increased the six-year sentence imposed on mobile dog groomer Mark McGee, 48, from Germoe, near Penzance, Cornwall, to 14 years and six months. McGee, who was armed with a knife, broke into the home of an elderly man and bound and gagged the pensioner&#8217;s carer before robbing her and carrying out a violent sex assault.</p>
<p>The judges made their ruling after hearing submissions from the Solicitor General Edward Garnier QC, who described the three cases as &#8220;safe haven&#8221; cases, where the attacks had taken place in private premises where the women were entitled to feel safe.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;Despite the sentencing judges&#8217; best efforts they fell into error in these particular cases and the sentences in each was unduly lenient.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lord Judge said: &#8220;The facts of two of the three cases represent the ultimate nightmare for any woman asleep in her own home at night on her own. The third involves a woman seriously sexually assaulted while caring for a fragile old man whose home was burgled.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stressing that our homes should be our safest refuge, he said: &#8220;This is the place above all that should be inviolable, where we should be left undisturbed and at peace.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lord Judge added: &#8220;It is bad enough to be the victim of a burglary even when one is away from home. Worse still is to wake up to the chilling discovery that a burglar has made his way into the house and then to remember that you are on your own, vulnerable and defenceless.&#8221;</p>
