The mother of murdered 28-year-old council worker Ashley Dale confronted her daughter's murderers in court as they were jailed for a total of 173 years.
Ms Dale was killed when gunman James Witham, 41, forced his way into the house in Old Swan, Liverpool, in the early hours of August 21 last year before opening fire with a Skorpion submachine gun.
Witham was jailed for life with a minimum term of 43 years. Niall Barry, 26, who was described by the prosecution as the 'malign presence' behind Ms Dale's killing, was sentenced to a minimum term of 47 years.
