A twisted killer who burned a mother-of-two alive after raping her and a mum and dad who 'worked together' to murder their 10-month-old son were just some of the worst offenders sent to jail in the UK in May.
Other criminals facing lengthy jail terms include a wealthy Nigerian politician who plotted to traffic a young man to the UK to harvest his kidney, a gang who supplied fake passports to some of the UK's most wanted criminals and the paedophile brother of former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield.
A dangerous driver who killed a mum while 'showing off' in his Range Rover, the mastermind behind an online fraud shop and a Brit who travelled to Syria to join a terrorist organisation after vanishing on a family holiday in Turkey were also locked up in the last month.
