A teenager gets a life term for murdering Lianne Gordon, who he shot in the head through her front door.
A teenager has been given a minimum jail term of 29 years for murdering a woman he shot in the head through her front door.
A jury also found him guilty of attempting to kill a 17-year-old boy and 21-year-old man who were shot in the street during the same attack. He continued by saying the defendant's lack of remorse was illustrated by rap lyrics found in his prison cell in January that were "glorifying" his crimes.In a victim impact statement, Ms Gordon's twin sister, Louise, described her as "a force of nature" and said "everything has been destroyed, shattered and broken" since her death."She had nothing but love for me, as she did for everyone who was lucky enough to be in her circle.
She said her twin was "shot like a gangster" in her own home, adding: "This gun crime has ripped a hole in my family and there is nothing we can do about it."
