Mass murderer Jeremy Bamber will die in prison.
The 47-year-old is serving life for shooting his adoptive parents, Nevill and June, sister Sheila Caffell and her six-year-old sons Daniel and Nicholas.
He slaughtered all five of them in August 1985 at the family farmhouse in Tolleshunt D'Arcy.
Bamber had asked for a minimum jail term to be set so he could one day be freed.
Yesterday Mr Justice Tugendhat said that the murders were exceptionally serious and ruled he should never be freed.
Bamber has always protested his innocence, claiming his sister, who was a model known as Bambi, could have killed the others before turning the gun on herself.
