The family of a young mother who died in the Grenfell Tower fire have spoken of their sadness after she was formally identified.

Zainab Deen, 22, died in the disaster four weeks ago, police confirmed, while her son Jeremiah remains unaccounted for.

In a statement, Ms Deen's father Zainu and stepmother Maria said: "It is with great sadness that we can confirm we have been notified by the police that our daughter Zainab Deen died in the tragic Grenfell Tower fire.

"Zainab has been missing with her son, our grandchild, Jeremiah, who we still await news on.

"We respectfully ask to be allowed to grieve privately at this time."

The couple added that funeral arrangements for Ms Deen would now take place and further updates would be released by her immediate family only.

At least 80 people are thought to have died when the blaze tore through the 24-storey block in west London on June 14.
