Chana, from Hamilton Road in Smwthwick, was found guilty of murdering his mother and step-father by a jury at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday (August 21).

He has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term to serve 36 years.

Judge Wall said, "After the killing, you did nothing to assist your victims."He added, "Instead over the next day or two you left their bodies and went to the pub and sort out the company of escorts."
