Delroy Easton Grant was born in Kingston, Jamaica on September 3 in 1957.

When Grant was four, his father George moved to the UK leaving him with his grandmother.

Grant never knew who his biological mother was nor did he ever try to find out.

He has a brother Michael, living in Jamaica, and a sister, but does not know where she is.

Grant joined his father, who worked for British Rail, in his mid teens, moving to East Dulwich in the 70s, and attended Kingsdale School in Crystal Palace.

After leaving with no qualifications, Grant, 18, took a job working at a petrol station in London Bridge, where he met Janet Watson, who he married at St Lawrence Church, Bromley Road, Catford, in October 1975.

The couple had two sons, Delroy Junior and Michael Anthony McDonald, and lived in Peckham.

Grant admitted he had a string of other women and was “serially unfaithful” to his wife, who divorced him in 1979 after he was jailed for two years for an attempted robbery.

After prison Grant met two other women before marrying his current wife Jennifer, who he became a carer for in 2003, after she had developed multiple sclerosis and became wheelchair-bound.

It was while married to Jennifer, whom he lived with in Brockley, that he became a Jehovah’s Witness.

Grant, who had several other jobs including a minicab driver, had 10 children in total from four different women.
