Richard Madeley suggests criminals refusing to attend sentencing should be ‘tasered’

Richard Madeley has suggested that criminals such as Lucy Letby should be “tasered” if they refuse to appear for their court sentencing.

The serial killer nurse, 33, did not attend her sentencing on Monday (21 August) where she was handed a whole-life order for murdering seven babies and the attempted murders of six others.

“If we’re being told we can’t get these people back into court because... they might be aggressive and dangerous, well that’s why you go in mob-handed... you have tasers to deal with people like that, and you have truncheons,” the Good Morning Britain host said.
