Dad Aboubacarr Drammeh held his nerve and spoke directly to the murderer of his wife and daughters in the dock. He delivered his victim impact statement to the court before loner Jamie Barrow was jailed for a mimimum of 44 years of a life sentence for murdering his family.
As one of the highest minimum terms handed out in the country for murder, Mr Drammeh spoke in court for nearly an hour, impressing on 31-year-old Barrow, who suffered from mental health problems, the ramifications of his murderous arson attack on his family's home.
Addressing Barrow, in his prison-issue pale grey swetshirt top and bottoms in the dock, he said: "I don't know what will happen to you. What I do know...most days it feels like I am serving a life sentence. You, Jamie Edwin Barrow, you acted like the judge and jury that night.
