A mother has admitted murdering two of her children as well as conspiring to murder four more.

Sarah Barrass, 34, pleaded guilty at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday to the murders of 13-year-old Tristan Barrass and 14-year-old Blake Barrass.

She also admitted conspiracy to murder six of her children, including Tristan and Blake, and five counts of attempted murder.

The attempted murder charges relate to four of her children, including Tristan and Blake.

Family member Brandon Machin, 37, also admitted the same charges.

Sitting in the dock, Barrass sobbed as she pleaded guilty to the murder and attempted murder of her children.

A security guard separated her from Machin, who remained impassive during the short hearing.

Judge Jeremy Richardson QC told the pair: “No words of mine can ever fully reflect the enormity of what you have both done.

“The crimes you have permitted quite frankly speak for themselves.

“The murder of two children, the attempted murder of four children and the overarching conspiracy to murder those children.

“I repeat those crimes speak for themselves.”

Barrass and Machin will be sentenced on 12 November.

The judge told them to expect “several terms of life imprisonment”.
