Sarah Barrass: Mother admits murdering her two teenage sons in Sheffield

https://news.sky.com/story/sarah-bar...-sons-11820816

Sarah Barrass pleaded guilty at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday to the murders of 13-year-old Tristan Barrass and Blake Barrass, 14.

She also admitted conspiracy to murder six of her children, including Tristan and Blake, and five counts of attempted murder.

The attempted murder charges relate to four of her children, including Tristan and Blake.

Family member Brandon Machin, 37, also admitted the same charges.

Barrass and Machin will be sentenced on 12 November.

The judge told them to expect "several terms of life imprisonment".

South Yorkshire Police has never released the cause of the two boys' death and it was not given when an inquest was opened earlier this year.

The court heard that all of the surviving children are under the age of 13.
Immediately, I was reminded of the recent Louise Porton trial and wondered if, in this case, the children were, similarly, "getting in the way" of Sarah Barrass' sex life, but I could find no further details - maybe they will be available later.

It's an appalling coincidence - the perpetration of, possibly, the worst human crime .....

Based only by her complexion and apparent slightly swollen face I would say meth or crack. Probably of the two meth.

(Just don't ask how I know about such things.)

Re: Sarah Barrass: Mother admits murdering her two teenage sons in Sheffield

Clever guys both

And as to the crime..
It's incomprehensible
My immediate instinct on knowing I was going to be a mother was one of protection and love and even in the toughest of times it has never ever left me.
How can this woman live with herself I have no idea

Re: Sarah Barrass: Mother admits murdering her two teenage sons in Sheffield

This low life mother & her pathetic boyfriend intended to kill all the children & the judge warned that it would be a long sentence in prison.

It will cost £100,000 a year to keep them in prison & heaven knows how long it will take the surviving children to come to terms with this.

I would love to hear valid reasons, from those who oppose Capital punishment, and understand their reasoning for any mother who was planning on killing all of her own children!

Try this for one valid reason. They would not have to spend many long years banged up.
