Thai blaze club boss faces charge 

 

Hot from the BBC: Reports suggest the new years eve fire at the popular night clun Zantika, or Santika, may have been started by fireworks lit on stage.

 

Thai police have said the chief owner of a Bangkok nightclub where a fire killed 62 people celebrating New Year's Eve will face criminal charges.

 

TV footage showed Wisuth Setsawat, the main shareholder of the Santika club, crying as he apologised to the families of victims before he was questioned.

 

More than 200 people were injured in the fire, with more than 30 still in a critical condition, officials said.

 

Reports suggest the fire may have begun when fireworks were lit on stage.

 

The venue, which was packed with up to 1,000 revellers, had no fire exit and there were bars on the windows.

 

Survivors have accused the venue of ignoring basic safety rules.
