UK: Girls sentened to life for beating woman to death

Story here. A rare case where the female discount was not applied in sentencing. Excerpt:

'But when he went to return them to her the next morning, the landlord found Wrightson dead — battered, bleeding and nude from the waist down.

Her killers, authorities said, were two of Wrightson’s young friends.

The 15-year-old girls, who cannot be publicly named due to their age, were convicted in Wrightson’s murder earlier this week after authorities said the pair beat her to death with items they found around her house: a shovel, a wooden stick filled with screws, a TV set.

The BBC reported that a mirror was smashed over the woman’s face.

During an hours-long torture session, authorities said, the girls goofed around on social media — posting pictures to Snapchat — and left for a “time out” before they returned to finish the job, according to the Guardian.'
