the Met had a list of 400 missing people – some of whom were reported a number of times under different names or spellings, with one person in particular recorded 46 separate times.
Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said: “I have been clear from the start that a priority for us was recovering all those who died, and identifying and returning them to their families.
“Specialist teams working inside Grenfell Tower and the mortuary have pushed the boundaries of what was scientifically possible to identify people.
“After the fire was finally put out, I entered Grenfell Tower and was genuinely concerned that due to the intensity and duration of the fire, that we may not find, recover and then identify all those who died.
“I know that each and every member of the team has done absolutely all they can to make this possible.”
