glad these people are getting dealt with nice and quickly.
in contrast it's a shame the corporate types who allowed grenfell to be clad in combustible cladding which led to actual deaths will have to wait until 2027 before their trials even start. some reports saying it might even be a decade before they come up before the beak. .
" The police said on Wednesday that it would take 12 to 18 months for evidence to be submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service; offences already being considered include corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter, fraud and health and safety offences. About 50 people have been interviewed as suspects, but the report is likely to prompt a new round of interviews. Trials are not expected until at least 2027. "
