Parents still coming to terms with Olivia and Ben's loss
Olivia Hope's family is relieved her killer won't be out of prison in the near future, but her father says a High Court ruling on Scott Watson's parole has done little to ease their pain.

Gerald Hope says he expected the 17 year minimum non-parole sentence to have been less.

However he believes the term reflects the severity of Watson's crime.

Gerald Hope says the family is still struggling to accept that Olivia is not with them.

He says they'll probably never know where Olivia and Ben's bodies are, despite appealing to Watson for the information.
