Petition Tag - life sentence

Roy Whiting murdered Sarah Payne 10 years ago this July. He was found guilty and was convicted in December 2001.

David Blunkett, then Home Secretary, made a landmark ruling, ordering he must serve a minimum of 50 years in prison. The decision meant that he would be ineligible for parole until 2051 and could not walk the streets again until he was 93.

Now, Roy Whiting is appealing against this ruling.
