The law change will also for the first time make this the default sentence for any sexually-motivated murders.Sex attacker Jordan McSweeney was jailed for life with a minimum term of 38 years for murdering law graduate Ms Aleena as she walked home in east London.
The Prime Minister said: “I have shared the public’s horror at the cruelty of crimes we have seen recently.
