Samantha Ford who killed her twin babies sends letter to their grandmother

Today, the twins' father, Steven Ford, tweeted revealing the killer has sent a letter to his mother from the mental health unit she currently resides in until she is deemed fit to go to prison.

He said: "The UK failed justice system strikes again. The murderer who killed my children has sent a twisted letter to my mum. Trevor Gibbens Unit in Maidstone should be ashamed for letting this happen. The injustice continues."

Speaking to KentOnline, Mr Ford said: "I'm talking to the police and the unit to see if we can prevent this from happening again.

"My mum is absolutely distraught by this. It's made her ill. She's been crying all day.

"The letter is her blaming me for the death of my children. Blaming my mum for not supporting her and she calls me a sicko and says my behaviour is disgusting.

"It's further proof she is a narcissist. She says she won't return my children's belongings to me, which her family have, and that she will not make the divorce easy.

"Not once does she say sorry for what she has done."

Mr Ford last saw his children on Christmas Day before letting them go to their mother's house in Margate.

He has since launched an appeal of the sentence she was given by the judge, but this was turned down.
