A couple have both been jailed for at least 30 years for murdering a four-year-old schoolboy who was subjected to "unimaginable" acts of cruelty and brutality.
Mrs Justice Cox told Magdelena Luczak and Mariusz Krezolek they had inflicted horrific suffering on Daniel Pelka, who was starved for at least six months before being beaten to death.
Sentencing the pair following their trial at Birmingham Crown Court, the judge told the Polish nationals: "Over the nine weeks of acutely distressing evidence I have not observed a single sign of genuine remorse at any stage from either of you."
Daniel's mother and stepfather were unanimously convicted of murder on Wednesday after blaming each other for the head injury which ultimately caused his death.
Jurors heard how Daniel was systematically starved under the noses of medical professionals and his teachers at Coventry's Little Heath Primary School.
Eleven of the 12 jurors who found Luczak and Krezolek guilty of murder returned to the court today to see them receive mandatory life terms.
One of the jurors wiped away tears as the judge described the ill-treatment of Daniel during her sentencing remarks.
But Luczak and Krezolek simply started straight ahead and listened to their interpreters in the dock, as the judge told them: "As the trial has progressed, harrowing details of the unimaginable acts of cruelty and brutality inflicted on little Daniel, over many months, have exposed both the torment and despair he must have suffered and your callous disregard for his pain and distress.
"Time and again, knowing exactly what you were doing to him, both of you concealed your conduct from the authorities by a series of deliberate and elaborate lies, designed to put them off the scent and to prevent them discovering Daniel's true plight."
