Birmingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday how Barley committed the killings after a year in which he was given food, friendship and shelter by Mrs Wilkinson.

The couple's daughter Lydia, 19, was away at Bristol University at the time of the attack.
Passing sentence, High Court judge Mrs Justice Carr said Barley had carried out "a vicious and unprovoked attack" in the home where he had once been welcomed.
The judge told Barley: "You abused your knowledge of the family home, which you had only gained through the Wilkinsons' extraordinary kindness and generosity to you."
Barley, whose parents died when he was a child, was brought up by a foster carer, who had reported concerns about his behaviour to the police before the killings.
"You have shown no remorse - indeed only regret that Mr Wilkinson survived his injuries and at times satisfaction in what you did achieve."
Mr Khalil told the court Barley was a "compulsive liar and manipulator" who was also given a job, accommodation and a mobile phone after Mrs Wilkinson met him outside a supermarket and took him home.
The court heard how hours after his arrest for the killings, Barley told a police officer: "I've stabbed three people up - I ain't bothered about taking one of you with me."
