| Many of Tuesday's front pages lead with the life sentence handed to Olivia Pratt-Korbel's killer on Monday. The Daily Express reports that Thomas Cashman, who refused to go into the dock for his hearing, is "likely" to die in prison after being ordered to serve a minimum of 42 years behind bars. "Life for Olivia's life" is its headline. The paper is one of several featuring an image of former Chancellor Nigel Lawson, who has died at the aged of 91. Lawson presided over the economic boom of the 1980s that came to define Margaret Thatcher's government. | |
| "Gutless" is how Metro characterises Cashman's no-show in court. The convicted killer stayed in his cell, claiming his trial was a "circus" and that he had heard prosecuting lawyers sing Queen's song We are the Champions after he was found guilty, the paper reports. | "Gutless" is how Metro characterises Cashman's no-show in court.

| The Daily Mail also quotes Ms Korbel with its headline. She told the court her mind "keeps telling me that I've forgotten to pick her up from school" before reality hits, the paper reports.
