27 people killed in beer parlour fire
At least 27 people have been killed and 63 hospitalised as a blaze gutted a pub in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district in Thailand.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, in a broadcast on Monday, highlighted the devastation caused by the fire outbreak.
“Twenty-seven bodies were moved out, lifeless bodies. Some were sent to hospitals. We are checking their conditions,” Mr Anutin said.
Authorities said most of those killed died in the toilet.
National police chief Kitrat Panphet said, “Most of the people who died were found in the toilets. When the fire broke out, they panicked. There were no lights.”
Rescue efforts are still ongoing, while police investigate the cause of the inferno.
