The landlords of an overcrowded London apartment that suffered a fire have pleaded guilty to criminal charges.
The fire, which occurred in an east London property and was caused by a faulty lithium-ion e-bike battery, led to the death of Mizanur Rahman, 41, a father-of-two who had arrived 10 days previously in London from Bangladesh.
The two-bedroom apartment was occupied by as many as 22 people, according to the Tower Hamlets local government website.
