THE devastated dad of twins drowned by their mother has tonight slammed the "disgusting" soft sentence she received for the killings.
However after the hearing, Steven took to Twitter to slam the sentence and appealed to the Prime Minister to intervene."Ten years for killing my son and daughter and probably only serve five! Justice was not served today. I am devastated, disgusted and appalled!Ford killed her kids to torment her estranged husband when she ended up in a "s***hole" in Margate, Kent, the court heard.
Ford told police she had "put them in the bath" and urged officers to head to her home in Westwood, near Margate on December 27 last year. Judge Andrew Edis QC said: "You knew it would devastate him and I'm sure that's one reason why you did it."You killed them, dressed them, dried them and placed them back in their beds, their bodies facing away from each other towards the wall."The loss of these two young lives is a tragedy which will haunt their father and other members of two families for the rest of their lives. I accept it will also haunt you because you loved the children.
Consultant psychiatrist Philip Joseph told the court that Ford's poor mental health was a "significant contributory factor" in the killings.The court heard how the pair met in 2004 and in the early stages of their relationship Samantha was "much more controlling" and "occasionally aggressive" to her husband.
Where do we go with this kind of crime? If she was given a 100 years would it bring back the children? She is living every moment of what she did. And you my son will also live every moment wondering if you could have seen the signs before the present outcome. Bless.
There’s something seriously wrong with the British justice system!
That's the trouble with this country. If you murder someone, you get rewarded. That's why all these stabbings are happening. There are no consequences.
