A MAN charged with the murders of his girlfriend, her two children and one of their friends is facing a further count of raping one of the youngsters.
Damien Bendall, 31, allegedly killed 11-year-old Lacey, her brother John, 13, and pal Connie Gent, 11, at a home in Killamarsh, Derbyshire.
A note read: “Look after your big brother and don’t wind him up.”
Jason also left a handwritten note at the house for John, reading: “My beautiful son, keep your kind heart shining while the angels are looking after you for me.”
He earlier posted a devastating tribute on Facebook alongside touching images of Lacey and John.
Jason said: “Absolutely broken my heart into a million pieces.
“I didn’t protect my beautiful babies enough from the monsters and now they have been suddenly taken away from me.
“I’m writing this as I’m lost and broken on a 4 hour drive back home having just received heartbreaking news that my beautiful boy John and beautiful daughter Lacey have been taken away from me.
Their mum Terri also lost her life and Laceys best friend was also taken away from the world.
“Life will never be the same. I love you both more than anything. Please look after each other.”
