Aaron Barley: 30-year sentence for homeless man who murdered mother and her 13-year-old son in Stourbridge is 'unduly lenient'
The sentence of a homeless man who murdered two members of a family who tried to help him is to be challenged at the Court of Appeal.
At Birmingham Crown Court in October, Aaron Barley, 24, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 30 years after admitting the murders of Tracey Wilkinson, 50, and her 13-year-old son Pierce and the attempted murder of Peter Wilkinson, 47.
Barley armed himself with a kitchen knife when he crept inside the family's home in Stourbridge, West Midlands, in March and stabbed them as they slept in their beds.
Mr Wilkinson, who was out walking the dog, was stabbed a number of times on his return and was fortunate to survive.
The fourth member of the family, Lydia, was away at university at the time of the attack.
