Two brothers have been jailed for a 'brutal and unjustified' attack which left the victim unconscious.

Aaron Whittaker and Haden Whittaker, both of HMP Altcourse, appeared at Chester Crown on Monday, May 11, for sentencing.

It comes after the pair beat a man unconscious before undressing him and dragging him onto the street.

The victim was subsequently taken to hospital where he spent seven weeks receiving treatment.

Detective Inspector David Jarvis said: "Violence of this nature has no place in our communities, and we understand the concern incidents like this can cause.

"We remain committed to tackling serious violence and ensuring that people in Macclesfield feel safe in their neighbourhoods.

"I hope this result highlights that those responsible for inflicting harm will be found and held accountable."

The court heard that on November 19, 2025, the victim had attended an address on Fir Court, Macclesfield, with Aaron and Haden.

Whilst at the address, an argument broke out between the three men which quickly escalated.

The Whittaker brothers then began their vicious attack on the 44-year-old man, beating him unconscious.

The pair undressed the man and dragged him outside, leaving him seriously injured and unresponsive in the street.

Police arrived on the scene and the victim was taken to hospital where he received treatment for seven weeks.

An investigation was launched and Aaron and Haden were both arrested a short time later and subsequently charged.

Detective Constable Tiffany Berry-Perkin said: "Aaron and Haden Whittaker carried out a brutal and unjustified attack, subjecting the victim to extreme violence. This was a deeply distressing incident that has had a profound impact not only on the victim, but also on local residents who were confronted with the aftermath.

"Officers undertook extensive enquiries to identify and locate those responsible, building a comprehensive file of evidence that ensured both defendants were brought before the courts. I welcome the sentences handed to them and hope they provide the victim with a sense of closure."

Aaron, 35, was jailed for three years and four months having earlier pleaded guilty to S20 assault.
