The barrister Luke Barker described it as a "shameful affront to our justice system" that his Sudanese-born client was kept for 617 days in adult custody from the age of 16 years and 10 months.

Mr Barker on Wednesday told a judge it was "repulsive" that "any civilised society can jail any child" for more than 600 days. Mr Barker added: "That it could do that to a 16-year-old as fragile and brittle at Peter Madul is nothing short of abhorrent.

"It makes a laughing stock of our country's ratification of the United Nations convention on rights of the child," he said.

Judge Richard Maidment described the situation as troubling and regrettable, but noted that Madul had originally "taken steps to report himself as two years older" after entering custody in July, 2012, and so be "treated as an adult".
