They changed the law in 2003 to allow, in grave cases, a whole life sentence.

It is very rarely given..

Oh real tough - he has to pay an extra tax for the rest of his life. No wonder they have so much crime in the UK.

They should bring back hanging (pay per view) with all money received going to the victim’s family.

Then I’d say that his sentence is going to be relatively short . . . so far as “this” life is concerned.

The really wonderful girl that he raped and murdered, with the help of his girlfriend, right after finishing work as a member of the elite armed cops unit that protects government ministers, diplomats etc.
