UPDATE: Grenfell Tower fire investigation
Jun 17, 2017 17:15 BST
Latest update at 17:15hrs on Saturday, 17 June:
The Metropolitan Police Service can now confirm the identity of one of the victims who perished as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire, has now been formally identified.
Police can confirm that Mohammad Alhajali, aged 23, who lived in Grenfell Tower has now been formally identified. A post mortem examination was carried out on Friday, 16 June at Westminster Mortuary.
Family liaison officers have now been deployed to support 52 families. These include the families of those deceased as well as those who are critically injured, and also families in cases where police have strong reason to believe that people reported as missing are very likely to be inside Grenfell Tower.
Over the last four days police have worked tirelessly to provide greater clarity on the number of people that are believed to have died in the fire.This has involved focusing our efforts on the people we have been told were in the building at the time of the fire but have not been seen since.
Based on what police now know, sadly 58 are missing and we assumed likely to have died.

Knowing how they suffered, I don't know how the families/survivors will ever find peace.
