Four detained as Russian club fire death toll rises to 112

Four people were held in jail tonight pending an investigation into a nightclub fire that killed at least 112 people in Russia’s worst blaze in decades, investigators said.

About 130 remained in hospital, many in critical condition, with injuries from the early Saturday blaze, which witnesses said was sparked by on-stage fireworks that shot into the decorative twig ceiling of the Lame Horse club in the Ural Mountains industrial city of Perm.
