Man admits killing four members of one family

A man has admitted fatally stabbing four members of the same family, but has denied their murder.

Joshua Jacques, 28, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to the manslaughter of NHS worker Dolet Hill, 64, her partner Denton Burke, 58, their daughter Tanysha Ofori-akuffo, 45, and granddaughter Samantha Drummonds, 27, at their home in south London on Apr 25.

He denied four charges of murder, but admitted manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
