Demolition of Killamarsh home where four people were murdered
Damien Bendall was sentenced to life over the brutal deaths
Preparations are being made to demolish the house in Killamarsh where three children and a pregnant woman were murdered.
Damien Bendall was jailed for life following the brutal deaths of Terri Harris, John Paul and Lacy Bennett, and Connie Gent in September 2021, last December.
The semi-detached property and scene of the crime where Bendall had carried out the crimes has stood boarded-up, with a small plaque in honour of the victims on a cherry tree in the garden as the only indicator of what happened on that tragic day.
A North East Derbyshire District Council spokesman said:
“Following the tragic events 20 months ago, preparations are now underway to demolish 54 and 56 Chandos Crescent in Killamarsh. The relatives, residents and the local community have been consulted of the steps that the council now needs to take prior to the demolition.
“Planning permission is required to proceed with the demolition and planning notices will be placed on site week commencing June 12, 2023, for a period of 21 days. Following this, a date for demolition will be set, at which point further updates will be provided.”
