'Brutal' killer Damien Bendall joins a string of some of the country's most dangerous offenders who are expected to die behind bars, including disgraced police officer Wayne Couzens and necrophiliac David Fuller.
Bendall, 32, dubbed the "sleepover killer", pleaded guilty on Wednesday to murdering his 35-year-old partner Terri Harris, her 11-year-old daughter Lacey Bennett, her son John Paul Bennett, 13, and Lacey's friend Connie Gent, also 11, at the home he shared with Ms Harris.
He also admitted raping Lacey at the house in Killamarsh, near Sheffield, in 2021, during what prosecutor Louis Mably KC told Derby Crown Court were "brutal, vicious and cruel attacks on a defenceless woman" and young children.
