The Metropolitan Police is building £2 million replica sections of Grenfell Tower as it prepares for possible criminal proceedings involving 54 individuals and 20 organisations identified as suspects in the investigation into the 2017 fire.
The replica is intended to help future jurors understand the tower's layout and how elements of the building looked before, during and after its refurbishment. It comes as the Met has submitted its final files to the Crown Prosecution Service, asking prosecutors to consider charges including corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter, health and safety offences, fraud and misconduct in public office.
