Southport knife attack: Teenager admits murder of girls in killing that sparked UK riots
CNNJAN 28
This was a savage and sadistic attack that shattered families and will mar the lives of those who survived with unspeakable horror. While a whole-life sentence would have been preferred, that's not possible because of the law. Nonetheless, Rudakubana will still likely spend the rest of his living years in prison.
An attack with this level of sickness and depravity demands the strongest possible sentence — not delivered here — and the law needs to be immediately changed to reflect that. Not only that, but there needs to be discussions about bringing back the death penalty in such extreme instances.
