Britain's most evil offenders who will spend the rest of their lives behind bars

Evil killer, Damien Bendall who brutally murdered his pregnant girlfriend and three children joins the list of some of the country's most dangerous criminals who will spend the rest of their lives behind bars. The 'sleepover killer' was given a whole life order on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to the murders of his 35-year-old partner Teri Haris, her 11-year-old daughter Lacey Bennett, her son John Paul Bennett, 13 and Lacey's friend Connie Gent, 11.

Bendall killed his family as well as Connie last year at the home he shared with Ms Harris in Killamarsh, the Mirror reports. He also admitted to raping Lacey during the 'brutal, vicious and cruel attacks' where he used a claw hammer to smash the victim's skulls.

The twisted murderer will now join the likes of disgraced police officer Wayne Couzens and necrophiliac, David Fuller who are also serving whole life orders which are the most severe punishment available in the UK criminal justice system. There are currently over 60 offenders in the UK serving this sentence - these are the monsters who will never walk the streets of Britain again.
