JUSTICE: A 16-year-old boy who stabbed a teacher to death in a "monumental act of cowardice and evil" has been warned he may never be released from prison.

Mr Justice Coulson told Will Cornick - who stabbed Ann Maguire, 61, seven times at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds in April - that he must serve at least 20 years in custody before being considered for release.
