18 children confirmed as victims of Grenfell fire

CORONERS confirmed yesterday that at least 18 children died in June’s Grenfell Tower fire.

Several of those identified were siblings, with the fire wiping out complete families. The inquests, at Westminster Coroner’s Court, confirmed the deaths of several families’ remaining missing members.

Kensington & Chelsea Council was set to hold a meeting last night to decide whether to strip all housing responsibility from the tenant management organisation which managed Grenfell Tower.
