DAVID LAUWERS, 34, is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court in north London today charged with the murder of nine people in the Smithfield sex cinema blaze and attempting to murder two others.

A tailor's cutter, he has no fixed address.

Six survivors of Saturday's St John Street fire are in intensive care, three in a critical but stable condition. Four less serious victims were said to be comfortable yesterday. Three others were allowed home on Tuesday.
