Five of the six victims who perished when a blaze ripped through their tower block have been named by police.

The identifications came as attention focused on whether escape routes and fire prevention measures were adequate at the building, which had a single central staircase.

Three young children, including a three-week-old baby girl, were among those killed in the fire at the 12-storey Lakanal Flats, in Camberwell, south London.
