Mary-Ann Mitchell and Belinda Mott recently appeared on This Morning to talk about their sister Juanita who was murdered by the pair.

"I feel cheated. We didn’t get the justice," Mary-Ann said of Fred. "Part of me is glad he’s not on this earth breathing the same air as we are. He didn’t suffer anything.

"We are in the sense the lucky ones. we had her back for a short time and said goodbye. There are other families out there who didn’t get that."
