Pierre Williams, 33, of Selly Oak, Birmingham, was given three life sentences for killing former girlfriend Beverley Samuels, 36, her daughter Kesha Wizzart, 18, and son Fred Wizzart, 13, at their home in Manchester on July 12 last year.

Judge Mr Justice Christopher Pitchford said: "Pierre Williams is a man with a low threshold for sexual frustration.

"Just as he had in the past with a previous girlfriend, he took out his frustration by treating Beverley and her daughter with gross sexual aggression.

"Only he can know what terror and pain he inflicted upon them before they died."

The family were beaten to death with a 2lb engineer's hammer and Mrs Samuels and Kesha - a former Young Stars In Their Eyes contestant - were sexually assaulted.

Williams was found guilty of three counts of murder after the jury deliberated for three hours and 15 minutes.

He was also found guilty at Manchester Crown Court of two sexual assaults.

He had a history of sexual violence against women.
