The serial child killer was not present to hear words of condemnation from the judge and victims’ families at Manchester Crown Court
The refusal of serial child killer Lucy Letby to attend her sentencing and hear the testimony of her victims’ families produced widespread support for a change in the law in Tuesday’s newspapers. The 33-year-old was not present to hear words of condemnation from the judge and victims’ families at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, prompting outrage.
He added: “Cases like these make me even more determined to make sure the worst offenders attend court to face justice, when ordered by the judge. That’s why we are looking at options to change the law at the earliest opportunity to ensure that in the silence that follows the clang of the prison gate, society’s condemnation will be ringing in prisoners’ ears.
The paper described the failure to add an amendment to the Victims and Prisoners Bill after Cashman’s refusal to attend as “inexcusable”. He aired the option of a live TV link to the prisoner’s cell and increasing sentences for those who refused to attend.
