The Attorney General’s Office has confirmed the prison sentence handed out on Tuesday to serial rapist and former police officer David Carrick will be reviewed by the Court of Appeal.

Carrick, 48, was jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 30 years after pleading guilty to 24 counts of rape and 25 other serious sexual offences which were carried out over the space of almost two decades, while he was a serving Metropolitan Police officer.
