Haiti: School owner charged after building collapse

Haitian police say they have arrested the owner of a school that collapsed and killed at least 88.

Police spokesman Garry Desrosier says Fortin Augustin, the preacher who owns and built College La Promesse, was arrested yesterday and charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Augustin is being held at a police station in Port-au-Prince.

It is not immediately clear how many counts he faces or when he is expected to stand trial.

Rescue crews from around the world are searching overnight for survivors of the Friday collapse.

Besides those killed at least 150 people have been injured in the collapse of the three-story concrete building. The hillside structure also destroyed two houses as it fell.
