Individuals may face Grenfell charge

The criminal investigation into the Grenfell Tower fire may consider individual as well as corporate manslaughter charges, the Metropolitan Police said.

Detectives are also investigating eight cases of fraud involving people who claimed or attempted to claim money following the disaster and four possible thefts from flats on the lower levels while the building was under security.

Police now believe that the death toll from the 14 June blaze may be lower than the estimate of around 80.
