'Heartbreaking bit' | |
Mosley's brother Brian said he was disappointed by the news. | |
He said: "They are not leaving these children to rest. That's the heartbreaking bit - bringing it all back up again. | |
"If he's had a fair trial - which he did - he had his chance in court - not one of them should be allowed to appeal." | |
He added: "The majority of people all think they should have got longer and so do I. | |
"I knew the children very well - God bless them - and in my eyes he should have got 17 years per child. |
