Murderer Jamie Barrow knew his neighbours, who he killed after starting a fire at their Clifton flat, would have had "no chance whatsoever," said the judge who sentenced him to a 44-year minimum term of a life sentence. Addressing Barrow in the dock she said she had to sentence him for the murders of Fatoumatta Hydara, and her daughters Fatimah Drammeh and Naeemah Drammeh and for arson being reckless as to whether the lives of the neighbouring residents of 23 Fairisle Close would be endangered.
Barrow, 31, who lived in Fairisle Close next door to the family, was convicted of those four offences unanimously by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court on July 2, 2023, and he was sentenced yesterday (Friday, July 7).
Mrs Justice Tipples, who was the trial judge, said Mrs Hydara was a young woman full of compassion and love - a caring and devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend. She was 28, married to Aboubbacarr Drammeh, and the mother of two beautiful little girls, Fatimah, who was 3 and Naemmah, who was 1.
