Following a harrowing three-week trial, Jamie Barrow, 31, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Fatoumatta Hydara and her two young daughters, Fatimeh and Naeemah Drammeh. The devastating incident occurred on November 20 of last year when Barrow set fire to their flat in Clifton, Nottingham. Nottingham Crown Court unanimously found Barrow guilty, and he will serve a minimum of 44 years before being considered for parole.
During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Barrow, motivated by anger and a desire to harm others, poured petrol from his motorbike through his neighbour’s letterbox and ignited it in the early hours of the morning. Ignoring the desperate screams of his victims, Barrow callously walked away from the scene. Shockingly, he even contacted Nottingham City Council to inquire about compensation for smoke damage to his belongings in a nearby flat.
