THE four men who killed Ashley Dale were branded monsters by her heartbroken mother as they learned they would each serve more than 40 years in jail.

Ashley's family and friends cheered and clapped as James Witham, 41, Joseph Peers, 29, Niall Barry, 26, and Sean Zeisz, 28, were sentenced.

Coward Witham, who had pulled the trigger, left the dock as Ashley's mum, Julie, 46, gave her victim impact statement.

Addressing the four men, she said: "I will never, ever forgive you, for the life sentence you have given me and my family.

"I hope my words haunt you all for ever. You, James Witham I hope when you go to sleep you too see my baby girl's face as I do every single night.
