22 and 20 years, not sure where "life sentences" came from
UK law is different
They'll be on parole for life if released after the minimum sentence and there's no guarantee they get released after the minimum sentence but the burden of proof would then be on them still being a risk, there's a handful of prisoners (maybe most famously Charles Bronson) who never get released
