Because people can either be born as psychopaths, or can learn psychopathic behaviour. The inability to feel or empathise in any way with the pain and suffering or another human being can be inculcated into any human mind at any age.

/// I must admit that at first reading I assumed they were both girls. ///
Why?????

Yes I know in these enlightened times.
But:
*** Mrs Edwards and her daughter were repeatedly stabbed by the couple, who were described in court as having a Bonnie and Clyde-style relationship ***

The 'normal' sentence for a murder committed by a child is 12 years
They have got nearly double that, so I think there is no way anyone can say the sentence is too lenient. Also it is a 'minimum' sentence of 20 years almost unheard of it a case where a child has committed murder! As the judge says , in this case life could mean life.
