Four people remain in temporary accommodation following the fire at Twinnell House on Sunday (Sept 25) which left one man dead. However, a spokesperson for Bristol City Council has said they hope all residents will be able to return home soon as the damage to the property is believed to be cosmetic.
A safety assessment of the Easton flats on the upper floor is currently being carried out to determine when the four residents can return. It is believed due to the containment of the fire, the four flats could be ready for residents to move back into next week, but at this stage the exact date cannot be confirmed.
An Inquest into the death of Abdul Jabar Oryakhel will open on Tuesday. The fire that was started by an electric bike, killed the father of seven who fell from the top floor trying to escape the blaze.
