The children of Mark Barrott have said they have been left feeling hatred towards their father, but were not surprised by what he did, after he was jailed today for murdering their mother.
Mark Barrott, who refused to come into court for his sentencing, was given life and told he must serve at least 21 years after killing 50-year-old Eileen Barrott at the family home in Whinmoor.
After the verdict had been read out this morning, Mark and Eileen’s son and daughter spoke outside Bradford Crown Court, along with Eileen’s father.
