Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told reporters on Monday it was ‘cowardly that people who commit such horrendous crimes do not face their victims’.
The families of Lucy Letby’s victims told her “you are nothing” and “you are evil” as the serial child murderer refused to appear in court for sentencing.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told reporters on Monday it was “cowardly that people who commit such horrendous crimes do not face their victims”. She added: “Little did we know you were waiting for us to leave so you could attack the one thing that gave us a reason to carry on in life.” Nicholas Johnson KC, prosecuting, told the court Letby’s offending was a “very, very clear case” for a whole-life tariff to be imposed.
Whole-life orders are the most severe punishment available in the UK criminal justice system, for those who commit the most serious crimes.Last week, the 33-year-old refused to return to the dock as the jury continued to return verdicts and the court was told she did not want to take any part in her sentencing hearing, and would not follow the hearing via video-link from prison.
