Two 15-year-old teenagers are now being dubbed as Britain's youngest murder couple after being sentenced guilty for stabbing to death a mother and daughter back in 2015.
According to reports, the two teenagers, one male and a female both 15, face life imprisonment after murdering a dinner woman named Elizabeth Edwards, 49, and daughter, Katie, 13 in Spalding, Lincolnshire in 2015. The teen murderers were both 14 during the killings, making them the youngest killer of United Kingdom.
The teenager girl denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility, as a result of abnormality of brain function, but admitted killing the Edwards, the IBT has learned. However, the jury in Nottingham Crown Court rejected her claims and found her guilty of manslaughter after two-and-a-half hours of deliberation. Her accomplice, who is her sweetheart, has pleaded guilty even before the court trial started.
She really meant to kill the Edwards as she actually planned the murder together with her boyfriend. The girl confessed to the police that she and her boyfriend went over the plan over and over again, The Guardian reported.
Forensic psychiatrist Philip Joseph told the court that when he interviewed the "inappropriately upbeat" female teen over a deliberation, she did not even show remorse or look upset, The Guardian has heard. Joseph added that this is clearly a planned, controlled killing - there is control all the way through it.
The teenager boy stabbed the mother Edwards eight times using a kitchen knife, twice in her throat in order to slice her cries and screams for help, while his girlfriend stabbed the daughter Edwards twice in the neck and the boy lastly smothered the body, The Guardian has found out. The girl killer admitted to the police and psychiatrists that the killings had been a breeze, according to The Guardian.
After the murder, the teen sweetheart, watched the teen romance Twilight vampire films, ate tea cakes and ice cream and had sex, the Mail Online has discovered. The two teens, now both 15, were compared to Bonnie and Clyde during the court trial, the Mail Online added.
