Kim Edwards and Lucas Markham were just 14-years-old when they killed dinner lady - and Kim’s mum - Elizabeth Edwards,49,and 13-year old Katie Edwards - Kim’s sister - in Spalding in 2016.

Prosecutor Peter Joyce told Kim Edwards’ trial that her sister and mother were stabbed a total of 10 times in a “cold, calculated and callous” onslaught at their home in Dawson Avenue. The court was told Kim Edwards and Markham then had sex, shared a bath and watched vampire films as they ‘revelled’ in the killings.
