2018-04-25 23

Eighteen people have been killed in a fire at a karaoke bar in China.
The blaze broke out inside the three-story building in the early hours of Tuesday morning in the city of Qingyuan in Guangdong province.
Police investigating the case as suspected arson said they had captured a 32-year-old man, identified as Liu Chunlu, in a nearby village.
He was found shortly after police offered a 200-thousand yuan reward, which is just over 30-thousand U.S. dollars, to anyone who provided information leading to the suspect's capture.
He reportedly blocked the bar's only exit with a motorbike before starting the fire.
