Liam O'Brien, 19, is seeking to appeal his so-called indefinite sentence (possibly as little as four-and-a-half years) for the manslaughter of Liverpool music fan Ryan Dugdale, after starting a fire.Drink-driver Ross Robinson, 24, has sought to appeal a nine-year sentence (also as little as four-and-a-half years served) after mowing down Huyton youngster Demi Leigh Royle.

Their dead victims were aged 11, 21 and six.

Their still-with-us killers could be released aged 40, 23 and 28.
