Despite his pleas of innocence, they say 16-year-old Joshua Davies is an "evil" and calculating killer and death is the only fitting punishment in his case.

Sonia Oatley, her son Jack and daughter Jessica were speaking to Sky's Midlands correspondent Lisa Dowd as Davies was sentenced.

The judge at Swansea Crown Court jailed him for an indeterminate period, saying he would have to serve at least 14 years.

Rebecca's family said they hated Davies

Davies had joked with his friends about killing Rebecca, 15, before murdering her in woodland near Bridgend in South Wales.

Like everyone who knew him Rebecca's family say they never for a moment suspected he had a murderous streak.

They shared the view he was an intelligent and charming young man, not the "devil" he turned out to be.

Rebecca's family say Davies never once showed remorse during his trial
