Four members of the same family who were allegedly murdered at a home in southeast London lay dead together in the kitchen and hall when police arrived, the Old Bailey heard.
Dolet Hill, Denton Burke, Tanysha Ofori-Akuffo and Samantha Drummonds had all been stabbed when police officers forced their way into the three-bedroom home in Delaford Road, Bermondsey, at around 1.40am on April 25, it is said.
