Life Means Life

This book tells the stories of Britain's most depraved killers – monsters whose crimes outraged society and demanded the harshest penalty available to a British court. In a UK prison population of close to 100,000, fewer than forty men and women have been told they will end their days in a prison cell. A graphic and harrowing read, this book is the first to bring together the case histories of every full-term lifer in Britain's jails, as police, lawyers and the relatives of both victims and killers describe how the truth was pieced together – and how these awful crimes have affected their lives. Offering never-before-published information about these extraordinary offenders, Life Means Life uncovers the shocking true stories of the thirty-six who have forfeited their right to live among us – forever.
