'Frankie Smith, 20, Star's mother, will be freed in four years after a judge reduced her sentence to account for the 'burden' of knowing she played a significant role in the death of her daughter.

Last night, Star's family slammed the 'lenient' sentences handed out to the pair, as they called on Attorney General to review the case under the unduly lenient sentencing scheme.

Speaking to the Sun, Frank Smith, 68, Star's great-grandfather, said he hoped her killers would 'rot in jail' and asked: 'Is that all Star’s life is worth? Frankie will be out in four years - how is that justice?''
