Live: Grenfell Tower families hold press conference

Grenfell victims have demanded that manslaughter charges be brought against those responsible for the tragedy. Their calls came as the final public inquiry report into the tragedy in June 2017, which claimed 72 lives, was released on Wednesday. The chair of the seven-year-inquiry, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, met with survivors and the bereaved on Tuesday and told them: “The deaths were all avoidable.” Grenfell Next of Kin, which represents the families of almost half those killed, said: “The Grenfell Tower Inquiry report is hard hitting and the Chair does not mince his words, but the sad truth for us the families of the deceased is will there be manslaughter charges?” In a statement, a spokesman added: “All those mentioned in the report have blood on their hands but it fails to identify who can be charged for manslaughter and that is what justice means for us.” Read more: #grenfell #inquiry #fi
