BEREAVED survivors cautioned today that the final report on the Grenfell fire might even hinder delivering justice.
The long-awaited report on the tragic blaze, which claimed 72 lives, is scheduled to be released [this morning].

Ahead of its release, the Grenfell Next of Kin group said that it had concerns that a “web of blame,” presented through the inquiry, would be a barrier to achieving justice.
The group said in a statement: “At a meeting with the Met Police it was confirmed that they have ‘never known a public inquiry to be conducted at the same time as a criminal investigation and examining the same issues.
“We were denied justice for seven years and now told there will be several more years.”
The Met Police previously said investigators will need at least another 12 to 18 months to announce charges, meaning that the bereaved and survivors may have to wait until 2028 for suspects to face trial.
