Mark Bridger has been jailed for the rest of his life for the abduction and murder of April Jones, the five-year-old girl who disappeared last year while playing near her home in Machynlleth, mid-Wales.
The trial judge, Mr Justice Griffith Williams, imposed a life sentence with a whole-life tariff on the 47-year-old, describing him as "a pathological and glib liar".
Williams said: "There is no doubt in my mind that you are a paedophile who has for some time harboured sexual and morbid fantasies about young girls, storing on your laptop not only images of pre-pubescent and pubescent girls, but foul pornography of the gross sexual abuse of young children."
