They were fatally attacked at their house at about 21:45 GMT while their two sons – aged five and six – were asleep upstairs.

The community came together following their deaths, with people donating Christmas presents for the boys “as a symbol of hope”.

A case management hearing for Mr Reeves has been scheduled for March 25.
