Arsonist Jamie Barrow has been jailed for life for the murders of an "incredible mother" and her two "angels" - daughters aged 18 months and three years. The judge set Barrow's minimum term, before parole at 44 years after he was found guilty of the murders of Fatoumatta Hydara, aged 28, Fatimah Drammeh, aged three, and 18-month-old Naeemah Drammeh.
Mrs Justice Tipples told Barrow, who showed no emotion, she was quite sure he did what he did because he drank ten to 11 cans of beer.
Her husband, Aboubacarr Drammeh, told Barrow's sentencing hearing on Friday (July 7) how he was left hopeless and helpless - "and it was the people who mattered the most to me". Since then he has been on a downward plunge into a wall of darkness and into the unknown.
