Mina Smallman said justice had been done for her “beautiful girls” as Danyal Hussein, 19, was told he must serve a minimum of 35 years. He turned his back on the court as he was sentenced at the Old Bailey via video link from HMP Belmarsh.

Afterwards Mina called for a review of the law because the judge said Hussein, who is autistic, could not be locked up for the rest of his life as he is not 21.

The killer made a blood pact with the devil to murder six women at random every six months in return for winning the lottery. 

He was 18 when he ambushed Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, as they danced in a park while celebrating Bibaa’s birthday.

Mina dismissed their killer’s antics during the court case as “all a performance”. She said: “There is nothing wrong with him. He’s just an obnoxious human being.

“He is a broken human being who, if he had not been caught, four other families may have been suffering what we have. 

“Well he isn’t out there now and I think he is so deluded, come 35 years’ time they will not let him out. I will not let them.”

Mrs Smallman added: “There will be no celebrations here but justice has been done.”

Hussein lurked in the bushes in Fryent Country Park, north London, in June last year as the devoted sisters and their friends enjoyed an evening picnic. He struck when their companions left ‑ stabbing Bibaa eight times as Nicole tried to fight him off.

She suffered 40 knife wounds and could not save her sister or herself.

Hussein dragged their bodies into bushes and positioned them in an embrace. It was a cruel act that stripped them of dignity in death, the Old Bailey heard. 

Their bodies were found by Nicole’s boyfriend Adam Stone after he and the sisters’ family and friends launched a search. 

The Met Police had wrongly closed the “missing persons” report beforehand, the court heard.

Hussein said he believed if he slaughtered random women he would win the Mega Millions Super Jackpot lottery prize of £321million.

Detectives found his handwritten contract with a demon called King Lucifage Rofocale. Hussein, of

Blackheath, south London, had signed it in his blood.

He denied the murders, claiming the prosecution case, including overwhelming DNA evidence and CCTV footage, had been fabricated. He was found guilty in July.

Mrs Justice Whipple told Hussein: “The law does not allow me to impose a whole life tariff on you.”

He can only be freed after he has served the minimum term and when he is “no longer a threat to the public”.

Home Secretary Priti Patel said: “This was truly a terrible, tragic case. It is right that questions are being asked of the Metropolitan Police. All police forces must raise the bar in handling such cases.”
