Sentences too light and remission should not be given.

Wiliam L. Gold, Hamilton, Scotland

15 years in prison, if not 7, for needlessly and bruttally executing two women guilty of nothing, IS the serious afront to justice, your honour the judge! God forbid this happens, but I would be your next client, guilty of justice.

Jondi Saka, London,

Can they not be deported and jailed in th countries they come from?

We shouldn't have to pay for this.

Archie, Stroud, Glos

Labour government policy on immigration is directly costing lives. We are allowing the dregs of other countries to enter unhindered and stay illegally whilst kicking out decent people because it's easier.
Their policy on Law and Order now values the life of a person at 15 years. Murder for trivial reasons is almost fashionable.

There are people in the government and justice system that should be put in jail for their negligence toward the people they are sworn to protect.

They should be immediately deported to Nigeria together with the rest of their families who are also here illegally. If the Nigerians decide to imprison them that is up to them. We have enough home grown criminals who we have to keep here. These are surplus to requirements. It should be automatic now that any foreigner convicted in UK is deported on sentence. That should free up some prison space so we can lock up our own citizens who need it.

Karen Wood, Bourne, Lincs

Bring back the death penalty NOW. People like this who commit these sort of crimes deserve nothing less. Murdered a teenage women for "disrespecting" him, murdered another woman whilst holding a baby, it beggars belief. Our soft, politically correct legal system cannot even find out their correct ages in case their human rights are infringed. I imagine that all these men were already known to the the police and got off lightly in a multitude of other previous crimes.

British justice - we must be the laughing stock of the world.

Tim Irwin, St Helens, UK

I'm confused here, could someone enlighten me please? The report says the leader of the gang got thirty years but elsewhere I read that what he got was two 15 year sentences. First, unless the sentences are to run consecutively rather than the norm of concurrently then actually he only got fifteen years. Basically every minute he spends in prison counts towards the sentence for both murders, two for the price of one as it were. Oh, and of course with automatic remission after half the (defined) sentence he'll be out in less than eight. Am I missing something? If ever a conviction cried out for life or an indeterminate sentence why doesn't this one?

Genuinely puzzled. Can anyone tell me just how long this chap will actually be banged up for (i.e., minimum time actually to be spent in prison excluding time already served)? I don't agree with capital punishment but LWOP is starting to look like an awfully attractive alternative ....

What these 4 people have done absolutely disgusts me. I agree that they should be immediately deported to serve their sentences in Nigeria and believe these sentences should be far longer. I also agree completely with other comments posted that there is a total lack of respect amongst some sections of society, and these murders show just how wild it can be. However, to blame these murders on illegal immigration is totally wrong. Terrible acts such as the above are happening and not always by illegal immigrants. I think we have to be far tougher on crime, be it committed by illegal immigrants or otherwise.

Burwaiss, Glasgow, UK

they must now reflect upon the enormity of their crimes and the retribution that will now be there lot.

andreas, london, u k

Why were they here?

John James, London, UK

This is just the tip of the iceberg of horrible offences carried out by people who should not be here in the first place. One only has to watch crimewatch to see the large percentage of crime carried out by these people who are of a culture in which a life means nothing. The Labour Government has done absolutely zilch for this Country expect watch as it slows erodes into a place that is unrecognisable from what it was 10 or 20 years ago. Shame on a Government that calls itself "Labour" when it bears no resemblance to what used to mean a Government that cared about the majority, now they are only interested in themselves.

alan stepney, Guildford, uk

Ok, I think some of the people that have commented before me need to calm down and think before they type. You can't claim that the police are inefficient based on the above story - if the police had not caught them you wouldn't be reading about it!
Secondly they were illegal immigrants so no 'do-gooders' listened to their sob story and let them in. They got in illegally - get it!
And yes, I'm sorry but, if you do go about demanding the return of capital punishment then you are a '"hang 'em high" campaigner'.

S Radford, Southampton,

This is very a very heinious crimes that those so called human beings have committed. they are a total disgrace to humanity and they surely need to be punished... i do not believe in death penalty because it does not deter crime.. those people are not scared to loose their life so they will not care if their life is taken and people like them have the same mentality. instead what could be done is that a life sentence should indeed be or life sentence or since we already facing a problem with over-crowding in our prisons they should be sent to their own country and there am sure the prisons are not as luxurious as they are here. It will be a real eye-open for those uttermost idiots.

Adwoa, Kingston, London

God bless you, Lola. Entirely agree. The UK government would serve its public much better if these peices of deadly menace are deported to Nigeria to serve their sentences here. Going by what is shown on TV, living standards and health facilities in UK prisons are far better than what most Nigerians currently enjoy. These murderers think they are tough, mean, brutish and cavalier with the lives of others ? Let them serve thier sentences in a Nigerian prison and kick those who had sired such things out as well. Send them to Nigeria. Please.

Femi t'Oluwa, Lagos, NIgeria

Unchecked immigration to this small isle will continue to devastate our society.

W Fendley, Huntingdon, Cambs

Deported after the crimes.What a bloody joke.These scumbags should NEVER have entered this country in the first place. We have become the dumping ground for mentally screwed up people from all over Africa,many of them have seen murder and bloodshed at close range in their own land, and think nothing of inflicting terrible harm on others.What a mess we have made of this country.

Michael J Rigby, Chorley Lancashire, England

He murders two people and only gets 30 years?

What a sad state of affairs.

Pete, Cov,

The mind boggles at what exactly these people were doing in this country in the first place. Another great result for UK immigration, the Home Office and most of all the government.

Peter, London, UK

Sentences for gang members too light and no remission should be given.

Wiliam L. Gold, Hamilton, Scotland

This crime proves - just in case anyone had any doubts - that we are, in fact, living in a lawless "wild west".
We cannot now tolerate it any longer; enough is enough.
The Police are ineffective and the authorities seem reluctant to admit that certain sections of our society have no respect whatsoever for Law and Order and, even worse, have no respect for human life.
It's not getting out of control, it IS out of control.
I'm afraid capital punishment is the last resort. and legislation must be brought in to re-instate it asap.
I'm no "hang 'em high" campaigner, just an ordinary Joe who cannot believe what is hapenning to this Country.

M Gardner, Guildford,

That's what you get when "do gooders" let anyone into the country without checking to see if their sob story of oppression is true ro just a load of bull. It should be an automatic deportation after sentence for any one involved in any crime in this country. See how much "disrespected" they get when they are sent back to their original country. Perhaps then fewer people in this country will need suffer the effect of the "do gooders" policys.

ALAN, Ca,

I used to be against capital punishment but now I've changed my mind. We need the ultimate deterrent against crime like this. Who cares if they are technically minors or not? They knew full well what they were doing. People like this have no value for any society. We'd be better off without them.

Edward Bisquoin, Reading,

They should be HANG , a life for a life. in their case lives.
Bring back hanging please.

J A Garrick, Barrouallie, St, Vincent West Indies

I believe if a stifferer punishment was available, it should have been issued. Here in United States I'm sure it would have. I am however ignorant of the system in the UK.

Chastity Francis, Waco, U.S/ Texas

There is no reason why Timy, Diamond and Jude should not be deported to Nigerian and even serve their sentences there.(this will ease the prison congestion problemin UK) Jail conditions are certainly tougher and there is every likelihood that they will realise the gravity of their crimes and reevaluate their lives. These ones think they are tough, let them serve their sentences in Nigerian and they will know that 'khaki is not leather'.
