Husband says jury 'did right thing' in convicting Jamie Barrow after fatal fire

Aboubacarr Drammeh can now sleep knowing no other family will have to go through what his has endured after the man who murdered his wife and children was convicted. Mild-mannered Mr Drammeh, who maintained his dignity throughout Jamie Barrow's trial, spoke after Barrow was unanimously found guilty of three murders and arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered.

Firestarter Barrow showed no emotion as he was convicted on Tuesday (July 4) at the end of a short trial where a jury heard of his drinking, mental health problems, self-harm, and of a childhood in care and how it was starting bonfires which soothed him.

Mr Drammeh, who still lives and works in Minnesota in the United States, has fond memories of Clifton where he would visit his wife, Fatoumatta Hydara, and his bubbly girls, three-year-old Fatimah Drammeh and one-year-old Naeemah Drammeh. His family died from smoke inhalation after Barrow poured motorbike fuel through the family's front door last November.
