Det Chief Insp Jill Johnston, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “I welcome the life sentence handed down to Lee Tipping by the courts, which reflects the seriousness of his offending and was aggravated by his lack of remorse. “Although no sentence can and will never make up for the horrific, sustained and violent attack Lee subjected his parents to, I hope that Tricia and Anthony’s families and friends get some sense of closure knowing that this case has now come to a conclusion. They have remained incredibly dignified throughout this investigation and my thoughts remain with them at this very difficult time.”
