According to the authorities, the suspect later returned to the bar and threw a burning object there, presumably a fuel bottle.
Eleven one person died and six were injured in a bar arson in Mexico on Saturday. The news agencies AFP and Reuters and the BBC report on the matter, among others.
The act took place in the state of Sonora in the city of San Luis Río Colorado, near the US border. According to the local prosecutor’s office, the suspect is a man who had previously been removed from the bar for treating women with disrespect.
The man later returned to the bar and threw a burning object there, presumably a fuel bottle. Seven men and four women died in the ensuing fire, the agency says.
The news media according to the city’s mayor said later on Saturday that the man suspected of arson at the Beerhouse bar has been arrested.
