The man who lived in the apartment in which the fire started that killed dozens in the Grenfell Tower disaster bears no responsibility, according to his lawyer.
The public inquiry into the fire has heard that Behailu Kebede called emergency services rapidly, and alerted flatmates and neighbours as soon as he saw smoke.
Mr Kebede was able to leave the London towerblock and saw the blaze spreading rapidly up the building.
It's thought the fire of June last year - which killed 72 people - started in a corner of his kitchen.
Behailu Kebede's lawyer told the Grenfell Inquiry his client is an important witness to what happened - but not a criminal suspect.
