A domestic abuser sentenced to a whole life order for the murders of his ex-partner and her new boyfriend has lost a bid to have his jail term reduced at the Court of Appeal.
Marcus Osborne was jailed in March for the knife attack which left Katie Higton, 27, with 99 injuries; and Steven Harnett, 25, with 24 wounds including mutilated genitals; after which he compared them to Romeo and Juliet and said they could “die together now”.
