A mother has admitted the murder of her two teenage sons and hatching a plot to kill four more of her children.
Sarah Barrass, 35, killed Tristan and Blake Barrass, aged 13 and 14, at a house in Shiregreen, Sheffield, on 24 May, BBC reports.
Family member Brandon Machin, 39, also pleaded guilty to their murder.
At Sheffield Crown Court, both admitted a further charge of conspiracy to murder six children, including Tristan and Blake.
Judge Jeremy Richardson QC warned both defendants they could be sentenced to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
“No words of mine can ever fully reflect the enormity of what you have both done,” he said.
“The crimes you have committed quite frankly speak for themselves.”
He told both he had “little doubt” they would be sentenced to “several terms of life imprisonment”.
“This may well be a case… where a whole life order is imposed,” he added.
Barrass, of Gregg House Road, Sheffield, also pleaded guilty to five counts of attempted murder against four children.
