A man who murdered three children and his own partner made a chilling remark to police as he admitted killing a 'fifth' person during his rampage.
Damien Bendall, 32, has now been jailed for life for murdering his partner Terri Harris, 35, her 11-year-old daughter Lacey Bennett, her son John Paul Bennett, 13, and Lacey's friend Connie Gent, 11. He also admitted to raping young Lacey and the court heard how he committed the vile act while she lay dying after he struck her in the head with a hammer.
The family and Lacey's friend were murdered at the house Bendall shared with Harris on Chandos Crescent, Killamarsh in Derbyshire in September last year. In a shocking police interview following his arrest, Bendall told officers at Ripley police station: “The whole house is covered in claret," reports the Mirror.
