THE daughter of a murdered Cricklewood woman said today’s sentencing of her mother’s killer means “he can never hurt anyone else”.

Houssam Djemaa was today handed a minimum 15-year sentence for killing Jacqueline Barratt after he claims the pair argued on December 10.

The 23-year-old admitted manslaughter, but had denied murder, after clubbing her with a fire extinguisher and kneeling on her neck in the flat they shared in Whitefield Avenue.

When the verdict was read out members of thed “close knit” family and friends, who packed out the public gallery in court 6 at the Old Bailey, cheered and shouted at Djemaa, who hung his head.

Outside Jacqueline’s daughter, Ashley, 17, told the Times Series: “Life would still not be enough because nothing can ever bring her back.

“I’m very pleased he got found guilty, but it still does not justify it. I will never feel happy in myself knowing that’s the man that killed my mum.

“Every night I have to see his face and I have to live with that picture in my mind and hearing in the trial step by step what he’s done to her.

“I just want to make her proud now and look after my two brothers. It’s been tragic since it happened.”

Before sentencing a victim impact statement from Jacqueline’s mother, Angela Barrett, who described the effect on her youngest child, Reece, aged four.

She said: “Reece, her youngest child, keeps crying for his mum, he is four years old, he keeps asking if she is coming back.

“He talks to her picture every day and believes Jacqueline is in heaven and talks to the sky to get messages to his mum.

"Hassan has taken a young beautiful vulnerable mother and left her children without her. Her children will now have to grow up without a mother and the sort of love and guidance only a mother can provide.”

She added: “He showed himself to her and us as a perfect gentlemen in the beginning, he had us all fooled.

“Hassan tried to paint Jacqueline in the worst possible light at court rather than admit what he had done, but didn't once mention his controlling behaviour or trying to push Jacqueline and her family apart."

She also described how one of Jacqueline’s friends had tried to take her own life after her murder, and said the family kept calling her phone to hear her voice.
