A neighbour of a mother and two young children who died after a house fire has appeared in court charged with three counts of murder. Jamie Barrow, 31, from Clifton, Nottingham, was remanded in custody until Monday after making a two-minute appearance at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Barrow, of Fairisle Close, is accused of the murdering Fatoumatta Hydara, 28, and her daughters Fatimah Drammeh, three, and Naeemah Drammeh, one. All three victims died from smoke inhalation following a severe blaze at their first-floor flat in Fairisle Close in the early hours of Sunday.
Their alleged killer appeared in the dock wearing a plain grey long-sleeved top and jogging bottoms, and spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth. He was not handcuffed during the hearing and stood with his hands behind his back as he watched the clerk of the court read out the charges against him.
