“The council came as an emergency but they thought there was a problem with the window frame but it wasn’t, it was the handle that locks. They were due to come and fix it this week. When they came, they closed the window but the handle didn’t lock. We want a full investigation.”
While speaking about her son, she added, “He was a wonderful boy… I am heartbroken.”
Haringey Council confirmed that an investigation is being conducted.
“Our deepest sympathies are with the family at this time,” said Zina Etheridge, the council’s chief executive. “We can confirm that the block is managed by Homes for Haringey, who are carrying out a full investigation into the circumstances.”
“The police are currently investigating and it would be inappropriate for us to comment further, or speculate, until more is known about this very sad incident,” Etheridge said.
