A convicted serial killer has been sentenced to a whole-life order after being found guilty of murdering two men in separate killings. The sentence means the offender will spend the rest of their life behind bars with no possibility of parole.
Prosecutors said the murders were carried out in brutal circumstances, with investigators gathering evidence that ultimately led to the killer’s conviction. The court heard details of the crimes before imposing the most severe sentence available.
A whole-life order is reserved for the most serious offenses, ensuring the convicted killer will never be released from prison.
Authorities praised the investigative work that helped bring justice to the victims and their families, bringing a lengthy legal process to a close.
The judge at Winchester Crown Court said the offences had an exceptionally high level of seriousness and it was rare to impose such a sentence with no chance of parole.
Desborough was also sentenced to five years on each count of preventing the lawful burial of Aquilino and Coleman, who were last seen alive on 18 April 2025 and on 3 June 2025 respectively.
