A government lawyer has been asked to consider whether the jail term handed to an axe wielding killer who bludgeoned his housemate to death is 'unduly lenient'. Kieran Oldham received a life sentence for the murder of 21-year-old Liam Richardson.
'Evil' Oldham bludgeoned him 18 times with an axe at a house in Rochdale. After being convicted of murder he was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 22 years.
He will have to serve 22 years in prison before he can be considered for release by the Parole Board. Now it has emerged that the sentence handed down is currently being considered by the Attorney General's office to consider whether it is 'unduly lenient'.
