Killer nurse Lucy Letby, who murdered seven babies and tried to kill six more, was among the worst offenders sent to jail in the UK in the last month.
The 'evil' serial killer will die behind bars after being handed a whole-life term, while more than 10 other offenders jailed in August will spend at least two decades locked up for their crimes.
Criminals facing lengthy jail terms include the man who murdered Tyson Fury's cousin Rico Burton in a bar brawl and a rapist who attacked a teenage girl five months before she was murdered by her brother.
A former deputy head at a school attended by members of the royal family, a former town mayor and a rapist ex-cop were also locked up last month.
