With tears in their eyes and pain etched on their faces, the bereaved and survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire demanded “nothing less” than manslaughter charges against those responsible for the disaster.

The families said they had been “robbed of justice” and feared “perpetrators literally getting away with murder” as they faced a wait of at least three years to find out if anyone would be convicted for the failings that led to the inferno that killed 72 people.
