Passing sentence the judge called the murder a "hate crime" against completely harmless people because of their appearance.

Ryan Herbert, 16, who had pleaded guilty before the trial started last month, was jailed for life today at Preston crown court and ordered to serve a minimum of 16 years. His accomplice, Brendan Harris, 15, who was found guilty at trial, was given a life sentence with a minimum of 18 years.

Thank you, Aribeth, for updating me on this matter. I can only hope their sentences serve to deter others from commiting such heinous acts.

Her eyes purple with bruising and kept alive by machinery, the 20-year-old student was eventually to die of her injuries 13 days after the attack.

Tragically, she had sustained the fatal wounds after trying to protect her boyfriend Robert Maltby from a savage beating.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=547708&in_page_id=1770&ct=5"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dailymail.co.uk/img/28121199-08C2-47DB-864D-57DB099FC2A1" alt="Sophie Lancaster" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=547708&in_page_id=1770&ct=5"><P>
Binge-drinking Brendan Harris, 15, and Ryan Herbert, 16, had drunk at least four pints of strong cider and downed shots of schnapps when they stamped on the head of the gap year student in a park in a quiet Lancashire town.
