A male suspect behind the London quadruple stabbing was formally charged when he appeared in court yesterday.

The accused, 28-year-old Joshua Jacques of a Lewisham address, has been charged with first-degree murder by homicide detectives shortly before his court appearance.

Reports outlined that Police were called at about 1:40 am on Monday, April 25, to reports of a disturbance at a home in Delaford Road in Bermondsey.

Following this, officers forced entry and found four people suffering from stab injuries.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, all four people were pronounced dead at the scene.

In addition, a Jamaican National Health Service worker, 64-year-old Dolet Hill, was listed among the victims of a quadruple stabbing at a south London home in the United Kingdom.

The other victims include her partner 68-year-old Denton Burke, 27-year-old Samantha Drummonds and her 45-year-old mother Tanysha Drummonds.

The accused is slated to appear in court on May 3.
