A German man found guilty of the murder of his wife and one of his children has been sentenced to a reviewable permanent prison sentence.
Thomas Handrick is likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars after he killed his wife and 10-year-old son in a cave near to Adeje, on the island of Tenerife.
He also tried to kill his other son aged seven, who managed to escape.
However, the defined prison sentences are lower than that the prosecution asked for, with Mr Hancrick due to spend a minimum of 39 years in prison, and pay a fine of over €360,000.
During the hearing, a plea of insanity was ruled out by the judge, saying the attack was pre-meditated.
