Joshua Jacques, a 29-year-old man from Lewisham, has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 46 years after brutally stabbing his girlfriend and three of her family members to death in what he described as a “sacrifice.”
The horrific incident occurred in the home of Samantha Drummonds and her family on Delaford Road, Bermondsey. Fuelled by drugs and alcohol, Jacques launched a frenzied knife attack on Ms. Drummonds and her relatives.
