People forced to leave their homes following an explosion which killed a four-year-old girl have claimed the gas provider “has blood on their hands”. Sahara Salman died and two people remain in hospital after the blast, which happened in Thornton Heath, south London, shortly after 7am on Monday. At a community meeting last night in Mitcham, residents said that at least 18 calls were made from Galpin’s Road, where the blast took place, to gas firm SGN about the smell of gas in the days and weeks leading up to the explosion.
