   Sarah Barrass and Brandon Machin murdered their two sons and   
   tried to kill their four other children in Sheffield   
      
   Neighbours of a killer incestuous couple have told how they   
   first suspected they were in a sexual relationship when one of   
   the children called their uncle "dad".   
      
   Sarah Barrass, 35, and 39-year-old Brandon Machin, from   
   Sheffield, were sentenced to 35-years in jail after murdering   
   their two teenage sons and plotting to kill four other children.   
      
   Barrass and half-brother Machin, the father to all six of her   
   children, plotted together to kill the youngsters in May,   
   fearing they would be taken into care.   
      
   Now neighbours have revealed they long suspected the pair were   
   in an incestuous relationship.   
      
   "She had two more children and yet there was no sign of a father   
   and no explanation for how the little ones came to be conceived.   
      
   "The only man who was ever seen at the house was her brother,"   
   one told the MailOnline.   
      
   They said: "My suspicions really started when I would watch him   
   leave the house and shout goodbye, he'd see them in the morning.   
      
   "Then after the younger children were born and could talk they'd   
   slip up and call him 'Dad'.   
      
   "I heard it once when the children were leaving the house to go   
   somewhere and I heard a little voice call 'bye Mum, bye Dad.'   
   One of the older children shushed the young one and said not to   
   say that."   
      
   It was later revealed in court the devious pair worked together   
   to strangle their two eldest children, Tristan, 13, and Blake   
   Barrass, 14, before ensuring their certain deaths by placing bin   
   bags over their heads.   
      
   A court heard on Tuesday how two of the children they had   
   plotted to murder were under the age of three.   
      
   Prosecutors told how the surviving children have said they   
   wanted their parents to go to prison for "300 years" and one   
   feared they might "become a murderer".   
      
   A packed public gallery also heard how two of the children are   
   "emotionally broken" by what happened and "repeatedly ask why   
   and how".   
      
   A day before murdering Tristan and Blake on May 24, the sick   
   pair had also forced the two teenagers, as well as two more of   
   their children, to take tablets gathered from around the family   
   home in Sheffield.   
      
   Barrass and Machin both expected the mixture, which included   
   prescribed ADHD medication, to end the lives of all four of them.   
      
   But when that failed, they killed Tristan and Blake before   
   attempting to drown another child in the bath.   
      
   Sentencing the two to life jail-terms with a minimum term of 35   
   years, Mr Justice James Goss told Barrass: "You considered your   
   love for them and fear of being parted from them entitled you to   
   take their lives as well as your own."   
      
   The pair had both admitted murdering Tristan and Blake, plotting   
   to murder all six of the children and five counts of attempted   
   murder, two of which were against the teenagers who died.   
      
   Prosecuting the case, Kama Melly QC told Sheffield Crown Court   
   that, to the outside world, it appeared that Barrass and her   
   children lived relatively ordinary lives.   
      
   "The picture of the Sarah Barrass household prior to the events   
   in 2019 was, to the outside world, a household of a loving   
   single mum with six children, heavily supported by her brother   
   Brandon Machin," she said.   
      
   "In fact, unbeknown to everyone but the defendants, Brandon   
   Machin was in a sexual relationship with his half-sister, Sarah   
   Barrass, and he was the father of all six children.   
      
   "The children believed and even told officers at the scene their   
   father was dead, having died in the Second World War."   
      
   She said it was "clear the relationship between the two   
   defendants was of a consensual sexual relationship", adding that   
   friends and relatives described Machin as a "pushover" and said   
   Barrass "definitely wore the trousers".   
      
   The judge also said the pregnancies of the six children had all   
   been planned.   
      
   The prosecutor told how the mother-of-six was heard repeatedly   
   making remarks such as "I gave you life, I can take it away" to   
   the children.   
      
   The court heard how Barrass had sought help from the local   
   authority with the youngsters, texting a friend that she had
