The monster, 49, then targeted his 18-year-old son Jake Brown when the youngster heroically tried to pull Brown off Jo.
He also stabbed his partner's dog Tilly multiple times before battering Jo to death with a baseball bat.
Brown then turned his attention to neighbour Teohna Grant, 24, after bursting into her home.
When her boyfriend Bradley Latter desperately tried to help her, he was also stabbed during the horror on December 25 last year.
Brown then left Teohna with five fatal sharp force injuries - including a deep wound to the neck - before he fled the gruesome scene in his car.
The double killer made a string of chilling remarks to police, telling officers: "Not self-defence, murder. It's plain murder."
He also described his chilling actions as him going "bloody loony".
The monster has now been jailed for life after pleading guilty to two counts of murder and attempted murder.
Brown also admitted possession of a knife blade or sharp pointed article in a public place and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal, a Staffordshire bull terrier.
The court heard he has 10 previous convictions for 15 separate offences - including attacking a former partner for which he was convicted in 2009.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC told the court: "The evidence suggests that the assaults were wholly unprovoked, committed by the defendant whilst he was under the influence of cocaine."
The horror unfolded at around 6.30pm on Christmas Day inside in a flat in the Bletchley area of Milton Keynes.
Brown and Jo had been in an "unhealthy" relationship for several years, with both taking Class A drugs and the pair regularly heard arguing by neighbours.
Jake had visited the flat on Christmas Day when Brown became "suspicious", the court heard.
Ms Heer said: "The defendant then picked up a screwdriver and a kitchen knife from the table in the living room and approached Pearson, who asked him what he was doing and tried to walk away.
"Without saying a word, he began to stab her with the knife repeatedly in a frenzied attack.
"Jake Brown tried to pull his father away from her, only for the defendant to turn to him and stab him in the chest."
The teen, who described his dad as completely expressionless" as he attacked them, then hid in the bathroom to call police.
He later described the scene like "watching a horror film" as Brown burst into the bathroom and hit him with the bat.
The killer then went into the communal landing to the flat next door, where Teohna and her partner were sitting in the living room enjoying a quiet Christmas day.
Brown stabbed both victims multiple times with a "blank" face, Ms Heer said.
Teohna was seen by a neighbour on the balcony of her flat clutching her throat and screaming: "Help! I can't breathe".
Police discovered Brown's DNA on a baseball bat in the kitchen and knife recovered from his car.
Blood from some of the victims was also found on his trainers and clothing.
Following his arrest, Brown said: "Oh Jesus, what happened tonight What happened tonight, boy? Pure f***ing madness. Pure madness.
"I've gone f***ing crazy guys. Just gone crazy."
In a victim impact statement read in court, Teohna's partner said: "We both thought of you as our neighbour and close friend for a number of years.
"The impact your crimes have had on me are never-ending. My whole world and future was heinously taken away by you."
While Jo's mum Susan Pearson said: "We can only imagine how horrific her final moments were at the hands of Jazwell Brown.
"Our own wellbeing has also been seriously compromised. Our faith in humanity has been seriously rocked. We don't think we will ever understand."
Lawyer Celia Mardon of the Crown Prosecution Service said: 'Our thoughts today are with Jo and Teohna's families and loved ones who have suffered such unimaginable loss.
'We worked closely with Thames Valley Police to build a case to secure justice for all of those affected by Jazwell Brown's inexplicable and violent actions.
'Compelling evidence in our case included the accounts of eyewitnesses which were supported by forensic evidence.
"Given the overwhelming evidence against him, Brown admitted to his crimes, thankfully sparing the victims' families and friends the ordeal of a trial.
"We hope that today's sentence helps them in some small way to find the strength and support they need as they continue on their path towards healing.'

Katie Boulter wins after revealing ‘disgusting' online abuse
Katie Boulter has experienced an outpouring of support from other players after revealing the extent of the abuse she receives on social media. Boulter, the British No2 and world No39, spoke out about the death threats and toxic online comments that have been directed at her and her family, saying that the abuse came mainly from gamblers who had lost money on her matches. Her fellow players have related their own experiences and joined her in demanding further action from the authorities. In an interview with the BBC, Boulter gave examples of the 'disgusting' abusive messages, including one telling her to buy 'candles and a coffin for your entire family', with a reference to her 'grandmother's grave if she's not dead by tomorrow', one stating she should 'go to hell' as she had cost the perpetrator money from a bet, and another stating 'hope you get cancer'. The WTA and the ITF, the governing bodies for the women's game, introduced a service 18 months ago called Threat Matrix, aimed at protecting players and their families from targeted online hate, and that service has revealed the degree to which unwanted messages come from disenchanted gamblers. BBC SPORT In 2024, 458 players were targeted with direct abuse or threats and five players received 26 per cent of the total abuse identified. Angry gamblers were calculated to be responsible for 40 per cent of abusive messages in that 12-month period. 'A lot of comments are very emotional responses and a lot of them reference gambling, saying you lost them a lot of money,' Boulter, 28, said after winning her first-round match at the Nottingham Open. 'I do find a lot of it is based on that. It's a new area that we're trying to improve. 'I'm past the point of worrying what people actually say to me, it's more about stopping it from happening. It's so important for young girls to not be so focused on social media, to not care as much what people think. It can be pretty tough as a young woman and someone trying to find their way. My goal was to raise awareness, because there's a lot of it.' Boulter's fellow British players at Nottingham identified with the problems she had spoken about. Fran Jones, who caused a surprise by beating Harriet Dart 7-5, 6-4, welcomed the subject being brought to wider attention. 'Every player experiences it. Some probably deal with it better than others,' Jones said. 'I know Boults has struggled badly with some of the stuff. I think even here she had a difficult experience at one point. A couple of the other higher-profile British players have struggled with that sort of thing as well. I know WTA are trying to use Threat Matrix to counter it, but these people find ways around the [prohibited] wording. I don't think it's an easy fix.' Dart expressed exasperation that social media companies were not doing more to identify the perpetrators of online abuse. 'What's quite scary is that we think this is normal because the amount of abuse we all get is pretty mind-blowing,' she said. 'This isn't just a tennis issue, it's a global issue. We live in the 21st century and how we're not IDing people [who send abuse] on social media, it's pretty horrific.' There was widespread support for Boulter from across the sport. 'I looked on my phone this morning and there were hundreds of messages of people reacting,' she said. 'Every person was telling me to disregard it, how much they appreciate me bringing this subject to light. I don't think people are aware of it, how much it happens to players.' The Arsenal and England Women striker Alessia Russo said Boulter's experience was a familiar one and added that she will step away from social media during this summer's European Championship. 'Every player might have a different story about that side of the game but it's one that can be really damaging,' Russo, 26, said. 'I have faced it in the past and I think most players here have. When I was younger I probably got sucked into it more. I read it more than I should have and listened to it more than I should have.' On the court, Boulter raced to a 6-2, 6-2 victory in only 1hr 14min over Lulu Sun, the world No44 from New Zealand. Chasing a third consecutive Nottingham Open title, at a venue only a short drive away from her family home in Leicestershire, Boulter was quickly into her stride, winning the first four games against Sun, who beat Emma Raducanu on her way to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year. In the second round she will face Sonay Kartal, the British No3 and world No50, who enjoyed a comfortable 6-3, 6-4 win against Leolia Jeanjean, the world No94 from France.
