NEW: Gilgo Beach serial killer sentenced to life without parole after he admitted to murdering 8 women, as the victims' relatives call him an “ogre” and a “repulsive monster.” Rex Heuermann, 62, admitted to strangling and dismembering 8 women in New York as their relatives ripped him in court, calling him a “demon.” Jasmine Robinson, a cousin of one of Rex’s victims, Jessica Taylor, said. “A million years isn’t enough… Nothing will ever make this right.” Melissa Cann, a sister of the victim, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, said, “You are a coward who preyed on vulnerable, innocent women behind a mask, a man without empathy, without a soul, who hunted, tortured, and murdered women.” Suffolk County Judge Timothy Mazzei called Heuermann a "disgusting and despicable small man," which led to applause from the victims' families, as he sentenced him to life without possibility of parole.
