| Ahmad Otak jailed for 34 years for murdering two teenagers | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A man who forced his ex-girlfriend to watch him murder her sister and her friend has been jailed for a minimum of 34 years. | |
| Ahmad Otak, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, stabbed 17-year-old Kimberley Frank and Samantha Sykes, 18, in March in West Yorkshire. | |
| The judge at Leeds Crown Court said Otak "out of childish jealousy and vicious spite murdered two women in cold blood". | |
| He then tried to flee the country. | |
| Otak, 22, of Linton Road, Wakefield, pleaded guilty to two counts of murder at a hearing in October. | |
| 'Repeatedly made threats' | |
| He entered the UK in 2007, and the court heard he had lied about his age. | |
| Sentencing Otak to life imprisonment, Mr Justice Coulson said he was "incapable of behaving like a human being". | |
| He said Otak was "controlling and threatening" in his relationship with Elisa Frank, 19, and repeatedly threatened her. | |
| The judge said: "You repeatedly made threats that if she ever left you, you would kill her, her friend Samantha Sykes, her mother, and her sisters Kimberley and Faye. | |
| "You even said to her that if she stayed with you she would be saving lives." |
