Rejected petition Life for the Murder of a Member of Armed Forces

More details

I would like that a life sentence handed to a person guilty of murdering a member of the armed services in the UK either on duty or at the time representing the armed forces, should mean life.

We ask the armed forces to put their lives on the line for us to keep us safe and enjoy the freedom of this country. We at least deserve to have those that rid of this to serve the remainder of their life behind bars.
