EXCLUSIVE: SUNAK'S MOST REVEALING INTERVIEW - PM: LIFE TO MEAN LIFE FOR VILEST KILLERS

Crime crackdown to make people feel safe

Rishi says: "This is personal. I have two young daughters"

BRITAIN'S vilest killers will die behind bars under a "life means life" crackdown ordered by Rishi Sunak yesterday.

He vowed to change the law so that the most heinous criminals are never released from prison.

The Prime Minister announced the move-part of a law and order clampdown in a revealing interview with the Sunday Express.

Father-of-two Mr Sunak said he is a man on a mission to make the streets safer, especially for women and children. He declared: "I'm a dad with two young girls so these issues touch me personally.

"I believe that for the most despicable criminals, who are plainly just evil, life needs to mean life. It's as simple as that." Sentencing rules will be unveiled in the King’s Speech this autumn, leaving enough time for them to become law before the next General Election.

Mr Sunak’s announcement, and his plan to press on with legislation, signals he wants to leave voters in no doubt he is tough on crime. His message is unequivocal: “The most awful sadistic sexual murders will now get whole-life sentences.”

The change, making judges hand down a whole-life term for all sexually-motivated murders, will delight Tory MPs who have demanded policies that will be welcomed by voters.

Murderers who would have been locked up for the rest of their life under the plans include the killer of law graduate Zara Aleena, who was attacked as she walked home in east London last year.

Jordan McSweeney was sentenced to a minimum of 38 years for her “brutal sexually motivated murder”.

The murderer of London teacher Sabina Nessa, killed on her way to meet a friend, would also face a whole life term.
