He was convicted of the murder of a family of 3
Arsonist Jamie Barrow has been jailed for life for the murders of an "incredible mother" and her two "angels" - daughters aged 18 months and three years. The judge set Barrow's minimum term, before parole at 44 years after he was found guilty of the murders of Fatoumatta Hydara, aged 28, Fatimah Drammeh, aged three, and 18-month-old Naeemah Drammeh.
Choking back tears, he said: "The question still remains why?" After two weeks of the trial, "I still don't know why? This is what I want to know...I don't know why?" When she broke the news to her son-in-law, she heard the painful silence on the other end of the phone. The tragic and heartbreaking compilation of footage included the start of the fire in the distance from a CCTV camera, and showed Barrow's movements going to and from his flat to buy beer from Clifton shops, and him smiling and chatting with a shopkeeper as he bought his booze.
He was told he could not. Over the next 45 minutes he remained nearby and spoke to several police officers. His interactions with the police were recorded by body worn video cameras. He said, more than once, that flat 17, the flat underneath his, was unoccupied. Later that morning he phoned police to say he had lost his keys and to ask whether someone could check to see whether they were in the police van. He seemed calm and composed. He said nothing about having started the fire, and did not ask about the condition of Mrs Hydara and her daughters.
Later, the defendant phoned the police again. He asked whether he could return to his flat and he was told he could. Again he seemed calm and composed. Again he said nothing about having started the fire.
