It is simply not possible to sentence them to a 'whole life term' no matter how bad the crime. They have been given 'life' with the maximum possible tariff of 24 years for one of them and a tariff just 6 months short of the maximum for the other.
As I always have to point out on these occasions they have NOT been sentenced to 23.5 or 24 years, they have been sentenced to 'life'.
The tariff is just the minimum time that has to pass before they can even start the process of applying for release on licence. It will take several more years after the tariff time to actually put in the first request for release and then more time for it to be considered. I agree that these two will almost certainly never be released .

It's certainly shocking - and goes against the natural order. Parents are supposed to be the guardians of their charge's well-being. Not the architects of their deaths.
I'm reminded of this particularly gruesome story from a couple of weeks ago:

Why the hell would someone battle for the custody of their child, and then kill them?
Is this becoming more prevalent, or are we simply more attuned to it?

Eddie, //It is simply not possible to sentence them to a 'whole life term' no matter how bad the crime.//
That doesn't appear to be right. Here's a list of people who were sentenced to whole life tariffs.

sp1814. Believe me I have not a shred of sympathy for these evil people!
It is just that every time there is a case similar to this reported we get the same outraged protest about 'Idiot Judges' 'lenient sentences' and demands that they be locked up for ever. When the truth is that a Judge can only sentence according to the law, no matter what the circumstances.
The 'tariff' is always quoted as the date the offender will be released, and not as what it actually is, the minimum time that has to pass before the offender can even begin the process of applying for parole.
Finally 'Life' really does mean LIFE, contrary to the popular view on AB.
An offender sentenced to 'life' can only ever be 'released on licence'. The life sentence remains in place and can be reactivated at any time if the licence conditions are not complied with. They can be recalled to jail without a further trial or conviction.
