Two more Singaporeans among Bangkok blaze victims
Reuters - 47 minutes ago
BANGKOK, Jan 4 - Two more Singaporean men were named among the victims of a New Year's fire at a Bangkok night club that killed 61 people in all, including four foreigners, senior health officials said on Sunday.
They were identified as Lu Wei Ye and Yeo Dee Soon Leslie, a senior official at the police hospital said.
One of the club owners has given himself up to police and promised to set up a compensation fund of 2 million baht , local television reported.
Police intend to charge the nightclub owners with not ensuring safety and allowing under-age people into the club, the television said.
The Santika nightclub in a trendy Bangkok neighbourhood was popular with both foreigners and high-society Thais.
Among the dead already identified was another Singaporean man, identified as Teo Sze Siong. At least 20 foreigners from Japan, Australia, France and the United States had to be treated in hospital, according to emergency services.
The cause of the fire was still not clear, Deputy National Police Chief Chongrak Chutanont said on Friday. Witnesses said it was caused by fireworks and media reported it was due to an electrical fault.
