'He has destroyed a family': Man murdered mum and her two young kids in horrific flat fire

A man whose wife and two children were murdered in a flat fire in Nottingham has said that the world has been denied the opportunity to see their potential due to the actions of a “heartless” killer.

Aboubacarr Drammeh said “words cannot quantify” his family’s pain after his wife, Fatoumatta Hydara, and their daughters Fatimah and Naeemah Drammeh were murdered by Jamie Barrow last November. Mrs Hydara, 28, was described as “the most incredible mother” to Fatimah, three, and Naeemah, one, who were described by their father as “two angels”.

All died as a result of smoke inhalation after the fire was started by Barrow in Fairisle Close, Clifton, on November 20 last year. Barrow, 31, had previously admitted manslaughter but was unanimously convicted of three counts of murder by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday, July 4.
