Bader Mohamed, 37, of Blake Avenue, Barking and Lewis Rowley, 25, of no fixed address, were sentenced on February 20.
The pair burst into a flat in Maidstone on the evening of June 9 after Rowley had knocked on the door asking to borrow some milk.
They demanded cash and while one of them searched the property, the other “beat and tortured the victim”, a Kent Police spokesperson said.
The victim was dragged around the flat, beaten around the head with a vodka bottle, punched repeatedly and stamped on whilst on the floor.
Mohamed also made attempts to choke the victim using a piece of string.
The ordeal lasted at least 45 minutes, before both men fled.
The victim raised the alarm by running outside before he returned home and found Mohamed in a bedroom trying to start a fire.
Mohamed again ran from the scene but after police attended was quickly found nearby and arrested. Rowley was detained on the following day.
Detective Constable Josh Littley said: ‘Mohamed and Rowley subjected their victim to an unimaginable and utterly barbaric ordeal.
“The victim was convinced he was going to die, particularly when Mohamed was choking him and he was fighting for his life.
“He was left suffering some horrific injuries which also included a fractured skull.”
The victim was taken to hospital and needed surgery for some of his injuries. He later picked his attackers out at an identification process.
The investigation also recovered CCTV from a supermarket which showed Mohamed purchasing a bottle of vodka.
Images matched one of the bottles recovered from the scene.
Both men were charged but denied any wrongdoing and a trial was held at Maidstone Crown Court.
A jury found them guilty, by unanimous verdict, of assault with intent to commit robbery.
Mohamed was also found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent while Rowley was convicted of a lesser offence, of grievous bodily harm.
On February 20, 2025, Mohamed was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment.
When he is released from prison he will be subject to an extended licence period of four years.
Rowley was jailed for ten years. He also has an extended licence period, of three years.
Both men were deemed “dangerous” by the judge, who commended the police investigation and told them they will have to serve at least two-thirds of their sentences before any chance of parole.
DC Littley added: “This was an entirely unprovoked and senseless attack, which to this day continues to have a profound impact on the victim’s life, who has been left feeling scared, angry and vulnerable.
“I only hope these significant sentences will go some way to helping him continue to rebuild his trust and confidence in people and that he can once again feel safe within his own home.”
