Britain's youngest female double murderer has been given a life sentence for killing her father and a woman in separate incidents when she was just 15.
A judge said Lorraine Thorpe had been brought up "with no real understanding of what is right and what is wrong".
She was convicted of taking part with 41-year-old Paul Clarke in the murders of Desmond Thorpe and Rosalyn Hunt last August.
Hunt, 41, was beaten to death in Ipswich over several days, with Thorpe responsible for kicking, punching and stamping on her head.
Desmond Thorpe, 43, a "vulnerable" alcoholic, was smothered amid fears that he would tell the police about the first murder.
Justice Saunders said: "She found violence funny and entertaining."
Clarke has already been jailed for life.
