In the early hours of the morning of 25 April, neighbours heard screams from a three-bedroomed terraced house in Delaford Road, Bermondsey, in south London, England.[1][2] Police attended at 1:40 am, discovering the bodies of three women and a man inside the house. They were a 64-year-old Jamaican woman, her 58-year-old partner, as well as her 45-year-old daughter, and 28-year-old granddaughter.[1]

Police arrested a 28-year-old man at the scene and said they are not looking for anyone else.[1] On 28 April, the man, Joshua Jacques (born 19 April 1994), was charged with four counts of murder.[2]
