How sentencing of Rigby's killers was delayed until British judges defied European court to declare 'life means life'

The sentencing of Lee Rigby’s murderers was delayed until today after Strasbourg judges had said that whole-life tariffs were unlawful.
But last week, senior British judges defied the European Court of Human Rights ruling - leaving the judge free to decide whether Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowlale should die behind bars.
Having been found guilty of murder at the Old Bailey last December, Mr Justice Sweeney gave Adebolajo, 29, a whole-life term while Adebowale, 22, was jailed for life with a minimum of 45 years.

Would YOU take on your best friend's children if she died? Jane did - and though it's torn her life in two, she insists: I don't regret a moment

Sometimes the most profound moments happen in the most mundane circumstances. Two years ago, I was having a cup of tea with my late best friend's husband when four small words, uttered by me, made the biggest impact on my life I could ever imagine.
With those words, I made an irreversible decision that changed the course of not only my life, but those of everyone I hold dear. It would split my family in two, force me to give up my job and leave my days gnawed by guilt - but at the same time fill them with love.
The words were: 'Of course I will,' spoken in response to Shaun, husband of my best friend Gina, who'd been killed in a car crash two years earlier. In an extraordinarily tragic turn of events, Shaun had learned he was terminally ill with cancer just over a year before Gina died. He wanted to be sure their two sons would be cared for when he was gone.

Yours for £45,000-a-WEEK: Penthouse in London's One Hyde Park the most expensive rental property in the country after it goes on the market for over £2.3million a year (that's nine 'average' homes)

A London penthouse is believed to be the most expensive rental property in the country after it was put on the market for £2.3m a year.
The five-bedroom, five bathroom apartment is lcoated in the exclusive One Hyde Park - the most expensive block of flats in the world. It boasts five reception rooms, parking for two cars and panoramic views across the capital.
A private landlord has put the flat on the rental market for £45,000-a-week, £195,000-a-month or £2.34million a year. That means a Briton on the average annual wage of £26,500 could stay for just three days in the stunning apartment before blowing their entire annual salary before tax.
Over a 12-month period, any tenant will find themselves spending £2.34 million on rent - enough to buy a nine ‘average’ UK homes priced at £250,000.
This is significantly greater than the £780,000 annual rent asked for by Phones4You billionaire John Caudwell for his Mayfair mansion which appeared in the media last week.
One Hyde Park was built by billionaires Nick and Christian Candy. A number of the world’s wealthiest people have owned flats at the building in the past - including Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, former Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar.
