Pictured here is: The knife used by Joanna Dennehy in the murders Psychopathic serial killer Joanna Dennehy has been ordered to serve the rest of her life in prison for murdering three men before randomly selecting and attempting to kill two others. Mr Justice Spencer told Dennehy she was "a cruel, calculating, selfish and manipulative serial killer" as he sentenced the 31-year-old at the Old Bailey in London. Dennehy, who laughed and smirked as the judge delivered his sentencing remarks, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to the murders of Lukasz Slaboszewski, 31, Kevin Lee, 48, and John Chapman, 56, in and around Peterborough over a 10-day period in March 2013. Police launched a nationwide hunt to find her after the bodies were discovered in remote ditches in Cambridgeshire but she went on to drive 140 miles to Hereford where she repeatedly stabbed two dog walkers. Dennehy, of Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, also admitted two counts of attempted murder and preventing the lawful and decent burial of her murder victims. Dennehy's boyfriend Gary Stretch, 47, of Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, thought to be Britain's tallest serving prisoner at 7ft 3ins, was also found guilty of the attempted murder of Robin Bereza and John Rogers after helping Dennehy select her victims in Hereford. He was also convicted of three counts of preventing the lawful burial of a body at the trial at Cambridge Crown Court.
