Kyle Clifford has joined the list of Britain\u2019s worst killers whose crimes are so heinous that justice can only be served by condemning them to die behind bars.<\/p>\n

Whole life orders are the most severe punishment available in the UK criminal justice system for those who commit the most serious crimes.<\/p>\n

Cowardly Clifford refused to attend his trial or sentencing<\/a> as he was handed the whole life order<\/a> for murdering his former girlfriend Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah Hunt, and her mother Carol Hunt.<\/p>\n

He plotted to kill Louise and her family after she ended their relationship \u2013 and turned to \u2018poster boy for misogynists\u2019 Andrew Tate<\/a> following the break-up.<\/p>\n

\u2018The screams of hell, Kyle. I can hear them faintly now. They\u2019re going to roll the red carpet out for you.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tWhole life orders: The sentence which sees criminals likely to die behind bars\t\t\t<\/h2>\n
\n

In the UK, the sentence for murder is life imprisonment, with the court setting the minimum term before the defendant can be considered for release.<\/p>\n

For particularly serious cases, including those with a sexual motive, that is 30 years.<\/p>\n

Judge Lord Justice Fulford explained at Wayne Couzens\u2019 sentencing that \u2018cases that have a starting point of a whole life order are those when the seriousness of the offence is exceptionally high\u2019.<\/p>\n

Paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 21 of the Sentencing Act 2020 provides a list of cases that would normally fall in this category, namely those:<\/p>\n
