Britain's youngest hitman jailed for life

16-year-old Santre Sanches Gayle, thought to be Britain't youngest hitman, was jailed for life today for shooting a young mother dead for 200 pounds.

CCTV footage caught him blasting the victim in the chest on her doorstep.

Gayle, known as Riot to others, is related to two other convicted killers and was convicted of murder after boasting of the crime to another youngster.

The judge says ''youth and immaturity'' were factors in the crime but soon added: ''Anyone seeing the short but telling CCTV clip of the shooting cannot but be struck by the chillingly deliberate and cold-blooded way in which you went about your business.''

Detective Chief Inspector Jackie Sebire said: ''The frightening thing is his confidence and his lack of remorse. Even though he is only 15, he knew what he was doing''

Most 'tough' kids or gangsters who commit heavy crimes still do have a sense of remorse or at least show some type of emotional response, but kids like these remind me of cold, calculative computers. Only difference being that these actually kill...
