A man has admitted to stabbing his girlfriend, her mother, grandmother, and her grandmother’s partner at a house in Bermondsey, south London earlier this year.

Joshua Jacques, 28, appeared at the Old Bailey in London on Friday and denied murdering NHS worker Dolet Hill, 64, her partner Denton Burke, 58, their daughter Tanysha Ofori-Akuffo, 45, and granddaughter Samantha Drummonds, 27, but admitted manslaughter due to diminished responsibility.
