Book description
From sex-crazed fiends to cold-eyed professional assassins, only
those convicted of the most terrible murders are told they will die
behind bars. This book tells the stories of those most depraved
killers whose crimes outraged society and demanded the harshest
penalty available to a British court. Among a UK prison population of
close to 100,000, fewer than 40 men and women have been told they will
end their days in a prison cell. They range from men who crossed
continents to slay youngsters, to contract killers who relished their
grisly calling. Some planned their killings in a sick and sadistic
manner, others killed in an unanticipated explosion of rage, lust,
greed or jealously. But whatever their crime, whatever their motive,
each of these beasts has one thing in common: they are the most evil
people in our prison system. A graphic and harrowing read, this book
is the first ever to bring together the case histories of every
full-term lifer in Britain's jails. It offers never-before-published
information about these extraordinary offenders. Police, lawyers and
the relatives of the victims and killers all describe how the truth
behind these awful crimes was pieced together and those responsible
were brought to justice to face the harshest punishment. These are the
36 monsters deemed beyond redemption, who by their own hands forfeited
the right to live among us, forever. These are the killers whose
crimes were such that society demanded that ...LIFE MEANS LIFE!
