A 28-year-old man is due in court on Thursday to face four charges of murder after a family was found stabbed to death at a property in south London, police said.

Joshua Jacques, who lives locally in the Bermondsey area where the bodies were found, was arrested after reports of a disturbance at the property in the early hours of Monday.
