London police confirm they are considering manslaughter charges in relation to the deadly Grenfell Tower apartment block fire that killed at least 79 people just over a week ago.
The final death toll from the blaze which engulfed the 24-storey Grenfell Tower has not been determined, and authorities have warned it may never be known how many people died.
“Given the deaths of so many people we are considering manslaughter as well as criminal offences and breaches of legislation and regulations,” Police Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack said during a press conference.
Superintendent McCormack also confirmed the fire started in a refrigerator unit, and that cladding on the building failed all safety tests.
