Fucktards. I can't see him surviving prison. Or her either. Other mothers in prison who can't see their children don't like mothers convicted of killing their own children, so I suspect the wife will be in for rather a rough time. They will probably have to isolate her from general population so she doesn't get killed. Also, life for that complete scumbag that is the husband probably doesn't mean his natural life, not with manslaughter convictions. I'm not sure British law allows a whole life tariff for manslaughter, even for six counts of manslaughter for killing his own kids.
