What is the function of "это" in "Его зовут X, это он впустил ..."?

>Его зовут Борис, **это он** впустил нас в дом.I'm assuming that "это он ..." is an equivalent expression of "it's him who ...". If this English construction is anything to go by, I'm puzzled by the lack of a word corresponding to the relative pronoun "who".Is "comma + кто" dropped here?>Его зовут Борис, это он(**, кто**) впустил нас в дом.
