She also admitted the attempted murders of two other men in Hereford. | |
Mr Justice Spencer told her: "The death and destruction for which you are responsible, has caused untold distress to the families of the men you murdered and to the men you attacked." | |
As she was sentenced, Dennehy showed no emotion and stood in the dock with her eyes closed. | |
"You have shown no genuine remorse; quite the reverse," Mr Justice Spencer said. "You have written to me saying you feel no remorse for the murders." | |
Her accomplices Gary Stretch, 47, and Leslie Layton, 37, were convicted of a number of charges of helping her, after a trial at Cambridge Crown Court earlier this month. | |
Mr Justice Spencer is due to sentence the pair - and a third man, Robert Moore, of Belvoir Way, Peterborough, who previously admitted assisting Dennehy. |
