The grieving mum of a model killed in an e-bike battery fire has made it her "only purpose" to use the tragedy to toughen up laws.

Sofia Duarte, 21, died when a blaze caused by a converted e-bike battery ripped through a flat block in southeast London.

She had been staying at her boyfriend's in Bermondsey and was awoken by a fire alarm, but couldn't find her way out of the building as the flames spread on New Year's Day 2023. Via SWNS.
