New York man sentenced to life in prison for murder of Jamaican girlfriend, her son and cousin

 
A Queens Supreme Court judge on Friday sentenced to New York man to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, three years after he killed his Jamaican girlfriend, her son, and cousin who was visiting from Jamaica. 
 
Travis Blake, 31, was found guilty on three counts of murder during a jury trial last month. 
 
Blake stabbed 55-year-old Carlene Barnett, her son 36-year-old Dervan Brightley and cousin 22-year-old Vashauna Malcolm to death in the Jamaica Queens home area he shared with Barnett on June 22 in 2022. 
 
Their bodies were found two days later with multiple stab wounds.
 
Blake was arrested in Maine several weeks after the gruesome killings and extradited to Queens.
