Cannabis user who murdered four people should die in prison – victims’ families
A heavy cannabis abuser who stabbed his girlfriend and three members of her family to death in a frenzied attack should die in prison, bereaved loved ones have said.
Joshua Jacques, 29, was fuelled by drugs and alcohol when he killed Samantha Drummonds and her family in their own home in Bermondsey, south London, early on April 25 last year.
Police found the bodies of Ms Drummonds, 27, her mother Tanysha Ofori-Akuffo, 45, grandmother Dolet Hill, 64, and Ms Hill’s partner, Denton Burke, 58, after being alerted to a disturbance by a neighbour.
Jacques had left a “bloodbath” in his wake as he attacked the victims with a knife at the terraced home in Delaford Road.
