People who worked on Grenfell Tower ‘could face life sentences’
Lawyers say police interviews indicate workers could face manslaughter charges
People who worked on the Grenfell Tower refurbishment could face the threat of being jailed for life, their lawyers have said, with witnesses interviewed by police believing they could be charged with manslaughter.
On Thursday at the public inquiry into the June 2017 disaster, lawyers for current and former employees of the architect, contractor, subcontractor and client on the project said it was plain to those interviewed already by police that the investigation “will include gross negligence manslaughter where applicable”.
