The schoolgirl was found hidden in Donovan's flat in Bartley Carr, West Yorkshire. She had been there for 24 days.

The trial at Leeds Crown Court heard the pair kept Shannon "drugged subdued and hidden from the public" so they could claim £50,000 in reward money.

I love you Mum!

Yes that's British justice for you.. You only got to look at those bastards who murdered James bulger. 2 years of age he was when they murdered him. I think they spent around 10years inside for what they did.

They should have had the same done to them....

And that's why this country is in such a mess. No justice or should I say in alot of cases the punishment hardly fits the crime!!

She should have been burned at the stake, like what happened to all witches back in the day!
