56 minutes ago
An Islamic State supporter behind the deadliest terror attack in New York since 9/11 has been told he will die in prison serving multiple life sentences.
Sayfullo Saipov killed eight when he drove a truck at pedestrians and cyclists on a Manhattan street in 2017.
He was given 10 life sentences - eight of which run consecutively - plus 260 years, and will never be released.
[...]
He shouted "God is great" in Arabic and was shot by police as he emerged from the vehicle. He hoped the atrocity would earn him membership of the group, a previous hearing was told.
He is expected to be held in Colorado's high-security "supermax" prison, where inmates spend up to 23 hours a day in their cells.

11 minutes ago
Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies on a neonatal unit, making her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times.
The 33-year-old has also been convicted of trying to kill six other infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
Letby deliberately injected babies with air, force fed others milk and poisoned two of the infants with insulin.
She refused to appear in the dock for the latest verdicts.
The jury has delivered the verdicts over several hearings but they were not reportable until jurors were dismissed.
