London, July 27
An unrepentant Briton, who called himself “Psycho” Stapleton was today sentenced to a minimum 30 years in jail for the “truly wicked” cold-blooded murder of 23-year-old Indian student Anuj Bidve that caused outrage in India and the UK.

Kiaran Stapleton today entered the Manchester Crown Court smiling and beamed again towards a member of the Bidve family as he was led away after the sentencing.

The Briton, who was yesterday found guilty of murdering Bidve on December 26, has been jailed for a minimum of 30 years before being considered for parole, following a five-week trial.

Judge Timothy King told Stapleton, who showed no emotion: “Only then will you be released if you are deemed not to be a risk to the public.” — PTI
