Repeat offender given life sentence

The Supreme Court has served a repeat offender found guilty of murder and attempted murder on two counts a life sentence. A life sentence is the maximum punishment an offender can get under Czech law. The man, who has already spent twenty years of his life in jail, has a record of theft and violent crime. Most recently he was found guilty of murdering a taxi driver for money and putting fire to his car to cover his tracks, and attempting to murder two women–in both cases for financial gain. The verdict cannot be appealed.
