Police question Romanian nightclub owners after fire kills 30

Must read

Three nightclub owners are suspected of manslaughter and involuntary bodily harm over a fire that killed 30 and injured 180, Romanian prosecutors said.

The three owners of the Colectiv nightclub were questioned by prosecutors in connection with the fire that engulfed the club on Friday night, causing a stampede to a single exit door of the basement venue.

Victims died from inhaling noxious gases, preliminary forensic tests show.

Some 90 people are still in hospital in serious or critical condition, many with complex burns.

Officials say the death toll is likely to rise.

Witnesses say the blaze erupted after a spark on stage from a heavy-metal pyrotechnics show ignited foam decor.

Many have criticised the single exit door and the flammable soundproof foam used in the Bucharest club.
