A man who set his mother on fire in a drunken temper and a double murderer who killed his ex-partner and her nine-year-old autistic son were just two of the notorious criminals from across the UK locked up last month.
Other offenders facing lengthy jail terms include a 'manipulative and conniving' paedophile who was caught in a sting operation within months of being released from prison and a teenager who dragged a doctor out of his house and stabbed him nine times in a random attack.

A couple who left an autistic man living in squalor in a locked attic room until he nearly died were also put behind bars in February.
These are some of the most shocking court cases that have been widely reported in the UK since the year began.
A double murderer was hunted down by police and arrested 24 hours after he killed his ex-partner and her nine-year-old autistic son.
Daniel Boulton walked for 28 miles to stab Bethany Vincent, 26, and her nine-year-old son Darren Henson to death at their home in Louth, Lincolnshire.
A court heard how Boulton had developed a “hatred” for Darren, known as DJ, and had “feared” that the young boy's condition would affect his own son.
Boulton, 30, has now been jailed for life with a minimum term of 40 years after he was found guilty of murder.
Boulton led Lincolnshire Police on a 24-hour manhunt following the stabbings. The hunt came to an end when he stabbed an off-duty police officer in the leg before being tasered and arrested on a nearby farm.
Boulton, of Alexandra Road, Skegness, admitted manslaughter on the second day of his trial, as well as assault with intent to resist arrest, and burglary, before being convicted
