(32 minutes later) | |
A mother has admitted the murder of her two teenage sons and hatching a plot to kill four more children. | |
Sarah Barrass, 35, killed Tristen and Blake Barrass, aged 13 and 14, at a house in Shiregreen, Sheffield, on 24 May. | |
She also pleaded guilty to three counts of attempting to murder two children, both aged under 13. | |
At Sheffield Crown Court, family member Brandon Machin, 39, also admitted Tristen and Blake's murder. | |
The pair, who will be sentenced on 12 November, both admitted a further charge of conspiracy to murder six children, including the dead boys. | |
The four remaining children cannot be named for legal reasons. | |
Judge Jeremy Richardson QC told them: "No words of mine can ever fully reflect the enormity of what you have both done. | |
"The crimes you have committed quite frankly speak for themselves." |
