A 19-year-old British man obsessed with demons was sentenced Thursday to serve at least 35 years in prison for murdering two sisters, in the belief that the killings would help him win a lottery jackpot.
Judge Philippa Whipple sentenced Danyal Hussein in the stabbing deaths of Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, who had gathered for a birthday celebration at Fryent Country Park in June 2020.
Hussein, who was appearing virtually because of ongoing COVID restrictions, turned his chair so as to not face the court as he was sentenced. The victims' mother, Mina Smallman, a retired Church of England archdeacon, has criticized the response of the police when her daughters were reported missing on the evening of June 6, 2020. She has said officers showed a lack of urgency after looking at one daughter's address and seeing her as "a Black woman who lives on a council estate."
