The gunman who shot nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel dead and an abusive partner who pushed his pregnant wife off a hill to her death were just two of the worst offenders sent to jail in the UK in April.
Other criminals facing lengthy jail terms include a drug addict who killed his partner's two-year-old daughter in a brutal six-hour attack and a 'dangerous' paedophile who sexually assaulted a six-year-old girl after he snatched her while she played in the park.
A father and son who murdered a thief who had been trying car doors around their housing estate, three violent armed robbers who attacked the brothers of two Premier League football stars while they ate breakfast and a landscape gardener who swung an axe into a man’s head at the pub were also locked up in April.
