Bank worker Mya Marsh, 23, and 21-year-old Isaiah Marsh were each ordered to serve a term of 20 years by a judge at Birmingham Crown Court.

The siblings were found guilty by a jury of the murder of 21-year-old Minister Enfrence, who died of at least 12 serious knife wounds after Mya called her brother to the scene.

A three-week trial was told Mr Enfrence did not appear to behave in a threatening way during his initial dealings with Mya, who was trying to buy drugs in the Medway Grove area of Kings Norton, Birmingham.

The court heard Mya had been given the morning off work at the time of the killing, having informed her employer of mental health problems.

Passing sentence on the pair, Judge Simon Drew KC said the attack at about 10am on November 5 last year had been ferocious and happened after Mya took a kitchen knife to the scene.
