A teenage boy who used a sledgehammer and a lump hammer to bludgeon 51-year-old Lorna Woodnutt to death before posting a video on Snapchat has been sentenced to life in detention with a review after 15 years.
The Central Criminal Court heard at the child’s sentencing hearing last July that the boy, who is under 18 and cannot be named, had sent a blood-splattered selfie with the victim’s faceless body.
