The courts aren't allowed to give life anymore as it infringes their human rights. They'll get 40 years tops. Just look at the judges remarks on Thursday when he sentenced that Chinese man who butchered that family of 4. He got 40 years as the Judge said he's not allowed to give life.
In exceptional circumstances, life without parole can be given, but these are reserved for murders involving a sexual motive, or against children. The most recent example being Mark Bridger, who killed April Jones.
