<p>Koffi Kouakou claimed to have been living on the 14th floor of the west London high-rise with Zainab Deen, who he said was his partner, Scotland Yard said.</p>
<p>Ms Deen died in the fire on June 14 last year along with her two-year-old son Jeremiah.</p>
<p>Kouakou was given a hotel room for two months before being moved to a council-funded flat, the Metropolitan Police said.</p>

<p>The 53-year-old’s accommodation costs exceeded £30,000 (€34,000), it added. He was arrested almost a year after the tragedy, on June 7.</p>
<p>Detectives established he had not lived in the tower and was not in a relationship with Ms Deen.</p>
<p>He was jailed for four years at Isleworth Crown Court in England today, after admitting one count of fraud by false representation the previous day.</p>
