Sex worker killed young couple and newborn baby in fire after services dispute

A sex worker has admitted killing a young family in an fire following a dispute over sexual services with another renter at the property.

In the early hours of December 2, 2020, Jenny Hayes was with a client at an address in Cook Point, Melborne Australia, in the downstairs part of the house.

Following a dispute, the 47-year-old sex worker returned to the property later that night and set her client’s mattress alight, reports The Mirror.

At the time Abigail Forrest, 19, Inderpal Singh, 28, and their three-week old baby Ivy Forrest, who lived on the second floor of the property were unaware of the tragedy that was about to unfold.

The fire ripped through the property and devastatingly the young family upstairs, who had only moved into the property a few days earlier, were unable to escape.

Hayes claimed she did not know that the young family lived upstairs and that while her client wasn’t home, they were.

Emily Forrest, Abbey's sister, created a GoFundMe page to help with the cost of the funerals of the family-of-three which went on to raise nearly £20,000.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Kennedy said the house was “fully engulfed” when the fire brigade arrived, saying: "The townhouse was raging, particularly at the front and upstairs … [and] with accidental fires that doesn’t normally occur."

Mr Kennedy added that a neighbour tried to rescue the family, but unfortunately "the fire took its toll and nothing could be done."

Soon after the fire and her arrest, Hayes sent her son an image of the burnt mattress she used to set the property on fire along with the message: “I think I did something stupid”, Nine News reports.

Jenny Hayes, 47, initially pleaded not guilty to three charges of murder as well as three charges of causing death by arson.

On Wednesday, Hayes appeared by video link in Victoria’s Supreme Court from Dame Phyliis Frost Centre, a women-only prison, to change her latter plea to one of guilt.

She will return to court to enter a formal plea of guilty on November 7, The Australian reports.
