‘MISTAKES’ LED TO FATAL LONDON FIRE

-

LONDON // London’s mayor said yesterday that the Grenfell Tower fire, in which 58 people are presumed dead, was caused by “mistakes and neglect”, as he acknowledg­ed growing public frustratio­n and anger. Sadiq Khan visited a church near the burnt-out residentia­l tower to attend a service to commemorat­e victims of Wednesday’s tragedy, when a 24-storey social housing block went up in flames. “There is a feeling from the community that they’ve been treated badly because some of them are poor,” Mr Khan said.
