Derek Martin, 67, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 29 years for the 2023 murders of Chloe and Josh Bashford in their Newhaven home.
The couple, parents of four, were killed in a violent, premeditated attack—Chloe was struck with a hammer and stabbed, Josh fatally stabbed and strangled.

He confessed after collecting the children from school, taking them to a café, and attempting to clean the crime scene.
Prosecutors said the killings stemmed from rage and resentment.
The victims’ families, including their eldest son and mother, described lasting trauma and grief.
Martin, with a history of mental health struggles and past crimes, was committed to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.
