Petition The rise of the minimum starting point for murder sentancing

More details

At present the current appropriate starting point is 15 years for the offence of murder.

I would like the ministy of Justice to consider rising this starting point to 20 years minimum.

On behalf of the general public in the UK I state that our current sentancing law for murder is too lenient and does not take into account the life sentance handed down to the victims freinds and family.
