CORPORATIONS that refurbished Grenfell Tower are responsible for the deaths of its residents "as sure as if they had taken careful aim with a gun and pulled the trigger," the inquiry heard yesterday.
Acting on behalf of a group of Grenfell families, Sam Stein QC said companies "killed" the flat-block's 72 residents when they "promoted their unsuitable, dangerous products in pursuit of money and a place within the market."
He listed the names of residents who died in the blaze, including the Choucair family, of whom six perished, and Logan Gomes, an unborn baby who died of smoke poisoning while in his mother's womb.
