Man faces four murder charges after London stabbings

A 28-year-old man was remanded in custody on Thursday accused with the murder of four members of the same family in southeast London.

After complaints of a disturbance at the residence early on Monday, Joshua Jacques, who lives in the Bermondsey neighborhood where the remains were discovered, was arrested.

He is accused of stabbing to death Jamaican-born healthcare worker Dolet Hill, 64, and her partner Denton Burke, 58.

Hill’s daughter, Tanysha Ofori-Akuffo, 45, and Ofori-Akuffo’s daughter, Samantha Drummonds, 27, were also killed at the house.

Jacques merely spoke during a brief appearance at Westminster Magistrates Court in central London to confirm his personal data.

On May 3, a new hearing will be held.
