Britain's youngest female double murderer has been given a life sentence for killing her father and a woman in separate incidents when she was just 15.
Lorraine Thorpe and a 41-year-old accomplice, Paul Clarke , killed Desmond Thorpe and Rosalyn Hunt last August.
Hunt was beaten to death over several days, with Lorraine responsible for kicking, punching and stamping on her head, according to media reports.
Thorpe was smothered over fears that he would tell the police about the first murder.
Justice Saunders said Lorraine has been brought up "with no real understanding of what is right and what is wrong" and she "found violence funny and entertaining".
The 16-year-old must serve a minimum of 14 years behind bars.
