The club’s three owners have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. The fire started when fireworks set off inside the club lit insulation foam on a pillar and spread quickly, starting a stampede.

The owners are being held responsible for allowing admittance to too many people in a venue not equipped with sufficient emergency exits.
