Introduce new offence for murder, dismemberment and concealment

Petition Details

There is currently no specific crime for a murder where the perpetrator has also dismembered and concealed the body. We think such an offence should be introduced with a mandatory life sentence with a minimum tariff of 40 years before eligible for parole. This should be known as Chantel’s Law.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
