United Kingdom: Murderer of 3 girls sentenced to minimum 52 years in prison

The murderer of three little girls in England in July during a knife attack that shocked the country was sentenced Thursday to a minimum of 52 years in prison by the Liverpool court.

Axel R., 18, will probably “never be released,” judge Julian Goose said in rendering his verdict, emphasizing the “extreme violence” of the murders of these girls who were taking part in a dance class inspired by the star of pop Taylor Swift in Southport, northwest England.
