These are Britain's most evil murderers... who will NEVER be released from jail.
The full list of the 35 serial killers, torturers and sex maniacs was obtained by the Sunday Mirror under the Freedom of Information Act.
All have been given "wholelife tariffs" - the ultimate sanction available to judges in murders involving extreme sexual or sadistic violence or abduction cases.
Among the most notorious are the Moors Murderer Ian Brady, 71, and Dennis Nilsen, 64, who is thought to have killed 16 men after luring them to his flat in North London.
Donald Neilson, 72, the notorious "Black Panther", murdered four people including Lesley Whittle, a 17-year-old heiress, before being jailed in 1976.
The only woman on the list is Rose West, 55, convicted in 1995 of murdering 10 young women with her husband Fred at their home in Gloucester. Among them was their eldest daughter.
A recent addition is Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright, 40, who killed five prostitutes in Ipswich in 2006. So is hammer killer Levi Bellfield, 40, who murdered Amelie Delagrange and Marsha McDonnell and attempted to murder schoolgirl Kate Sheedy.
Douglas Vinter, 39, occupies the latest place on the list after he was convicted of stabbing and strangling his wife three years after being released from jail for another murder.
The only way any of these killers could ever be freed is to successfully appeal to the High Court. David Bieber, 43, who murdered PC Ian Broadhurst and tried to kill two other officers, had his whole life tariff overturned last year. He will now serve a minimum of 37 years. Astonishingly, Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe and Roy Whiting, who abducted and murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne, are NOT on the list.
No minimum term was set at Sutcliffe's trial while Whiting was given a 50-year tariff in 2002.
Ian Huntley, who murdered schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, is not included as he was given a 40-year jail tariff after a new Criminal Justice Act ruled the "whole life" criteria was reserved for sexual, sadistic or abduction cases.
The trial judge said he could not be certain Huntley had enticed them into his house or had a sexual motivation.
A Prison Service source said: "This list makes pretty grim reading. It is reserved for the lowest of the low.
"But at least people can take comfort from the fact they will never be let out to roam Britain's streets."
