she had stabbed michael pleasted eight times. he bled to death.nd for it to end the way that it did. you didn't intend to kill him? no. hours later, she handed herself in to the police. i saw a very frightened, vulnerable woman. you could tell that she was scared. she came to the police station, she denied murder and obviously gave an explanation of what had happened and why it had happened, from her point of view. they absolutely have the right to demand answers from me. i had taken the law into my own hands, i had done that. i've always been raised, my boys have always been raised to take responsibility for their actions. but i also understood this is the process that should have happened to michael pleasted. this is the process. when you learned what your mum had done, and that this man was now dead, because she had killed him...? like, so what? good. i ain't going to deny it. he was released on bail, what would make you think he is not going to go, i know i'm going to get caught and do time, let me go and get four or five more kids? it didn't

michael pleasted was arrested and charged with offences against her boys.ng trial, he was allowed back on the estate. sarah sands couldn't believe a judge had agreed to let him return to the neighbourhood. he was given bail by the courts. i can't comment on that decision because i wasn't involved in that decsion, but on a personal level, i still don't understand why the court gave him bail, and back to his home address, which was very close to where sarah and her family lived, which would have put them again under more stress and pressure, and more severe that there might be more repercussions. he had ruined my life and he had tried to take away the most precious thing in my life. them babies...we know they're not going to wake up one day and this didn't happen. i'm never going to be able to take it away from them when they are screaming in the middle of the night. i can't say, oh, it was just a dream. because it wasn't, he was a walking nightmare. it's horrendous, the guilt, the pain, the sheer shame. it's myjob to protect them. i should have known. itjust

she stabbed michael pleasted repeatedly. he bled to death.
