A man who killed his ex-partner's sister and her three children in a house fire has been sentenced to a whole life tariff.

Antonia Gawith had ended an abusive seven-year relationship with Sharaz Ali and was staying with her sister Bryonie when he set fire to the home in Bradford.

Ali was found guilty in December of murdering Bryonie Gawith and her three children.

For his crime, he will never be released from prison.

Letshope he stays in the general population.

We've just seen what's happened to child killer Ian Huntley and he's not been given a whole life tariff. He's in hospital still on a life support machine after he was stabbed in the head by a fellow inmate with a metal spike.

Ali is approximately the 100th person to be given a whole life tariff since its introduction in 1983. It is the replacement for the death penalty. He is now one of around 75 people in the country to be serving life with no possibility of parole.

If you don't have a boat or airplane, you're serving life on a tiny island.

If you're talking about Great Britain then it's not a tiny island. I think we're the eighth largest island in the world, with lots of tiny ones around it.

As for Canada, you may be the world's second biggest country by land area but there are only 41 million of you. There are 70 million of us Brits.

Sentencing of Sharaz Ali

Ali sentenced to die in prison for murdering woman and her three children


Mr Justice Hillard sentencing Sharaz Ali to die in prison for murdering a woman and her three children.

Ali deliberately set fire to the house in which his ex-girlfriend Antonia Gawith was staying in after she ended her abusive relationship with him. He intended to kill her.

Instead the fire killed Antonia's sister Bryonie and her three children. Antonia survived.

For this crime Ali, 40, has become one of just 75 or so criminals currently serving life sentences with no possibility of parole in the UK. He was also given on top of that 37 years for the attempted murder of Antonia.

His accomplice was also severely punished.

Multiple murders or the murder or murders of children are most likely to result in whole life tariffs.
