He will be sentenced on Friday
Jamie Barrow has been found guilty of the murders of a mum and her little girls after setting fire to their flat when he poured petrol through their letterbox? Legal Affairs Correspondent Rebecca Sherdley followed the trial.
Barrow lit the fire after filling a bottle with petrol from his motorbike and pouring it through his victims’ letterbox before lighting it with tissue paper, later asking a housing officer whether he could receive compensation for smoke damage to his property. He said: “I got a bottle, took the lid off it, put some gloves on, went downstairs, filled the bottle with petrol and then went round to the address and started the fire.”
After lighting the fire, Barrow said he “panicked” as he “was not expecting it to go up like that”, but he denied hearing any noises or screams, something prosecutors say could be heard from inside the flat seconds after the fire started. Whilst Mrs Drammeh's husband worked in the United States, he visited his wife and daughters at their flat often. He was trying to arrange for them to join him in the US.
He said he was irrationally angry, that he would smash stuff up and that he was violent towards others. The jury heard, whilst at school, Barrow would 'kick off' - which was the way he expressed it. He spent some time isolated at behavioural units Barrow started his first fire when he was just 14 years old By adulthood, Barrow had been diagnosed with anti-social personaility disorder and borderline or emotionally unstable personaility disorder. He had always been impulsive and experienced frequent mood changes - and he had always had an interest in fires, and he liked sitting and watching the fires burn.
Simon Ash KC, prosecuting, had asked Dr Furtado, if Barrow said: "When it goes up, it is always a sense of release..like the stress is going".Mr Ash asked: "Did he say, 'the more it goes, the more mesmorized I get'. Dr Furtado replied: "Yes, that's correct".
