Psychopathic British serial killer Joanna Dennehy gets life for murdering three men

Sentenced ... British serial killer Joanna Dennehy will serve out the rest of her life in prison. 

PSYCHOPATHIC British serial killer Joanna Dennehy has been ordered to serve the rest of her life in prison for murdering three men before randomly selecting and attempting to kill two others. 

A judge told Dennehy she was “a cruel, calculating, selfish and manipulative serial killer” as he sentenced the 31-year-old at the Old Bailey.

Dennehy, who laughed and smirked as the judge delivered his sentencing remarks, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to the murders of Lukasz Slaboszewski, 31, Kevin Lee, 48, and John Chapman, 56, in and around Peterborough over a 10-day period last March.

Police launched a nationwide hunt to find her after the bodies were discovered in remote ditches in Cambridgeshire but she went on to drive 225 kilometres to Hereford where she repeatedly stabbed two dog walkers.

Dennehy also admitted to two counts of attempted murder and preventing the lawful and decent burial of her murder victims.
Three men were also sentenced for helping in her killing spree.

Disturbing ... Dennehy also tried to kill two other men she chose at random.

 

The killer, who had seemed relaxed throughout the hearing, muttered and smirked as the sentence was passed.

Addressing Dennehy, who has been diagnosed with various psychopathic disorders, Mr Justice Spencer said: “Within the space of ten days you murdered three men in cold blood.
“Although you pleaded guilty, you’ve made it quite clear you have no remorse.

“Only a matter of days later you attempted to kill two more men — victims chosen entirely at random.
“Miraculously they survived.
“You claim to feel remorse for those attacks but I have no hesitation in rejecting that.
“You are a cruel, calculating, selfish and manipulative serial killer.”

Later the judge added: “The death and destruction you are responsible for has caused untold distress for the families of those killed and of those who survived.”
