A self-proclaimed extreme body modification artist has been sentenced
to 10 years in jail over the death of a NSW woman he discouraged from
seeking medical help for an infected implant.
In 2021 Brendan Leigh Russell was found guilty in the NSW District Court
of manslaughter, female genital mutilation and intentionally causing
grievous bodily harm.
The offences relate to procedures on three separate women, including one
who died from septicaemia after Russell inserted a snowflake-shaped
implant in her right hand. He discouraged her from seeking medical help
for the infected implant. One of the other women had her labia excised,
and experienced pain for 12 months following the procedure, which made
her unable to use tampons or wear underwear.

—I'm guessing he might have a few body modifications
himself after a decade in the slammer LOL.
