The case is currently under consideration
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.
The matter is currently under consideration and no decision has been made. The Attorney General's office has 28 days from the day sentence was passed to review the case. Chilling voice recordings captured minutes before the killing revealed how Liam begged cocaine-fuelled Oldham to let him leave the house in October last year. Shortly after Oldham armed himself with an axe and launched a horrendous attack.
Another recent Greater Manchester murder case was submitted as part of the 'unduly lenient' scheme. Life sentences were handed down to Kane Adamson, Joshua Prescott, and Ben Dawber after they were convicted of murdering 30-year-old Thomas Williamson, an innocent man who was brutally killed in Wigan while the trio were out 'looking for trouble'.
