SEMARANG - Police investigated the fire incident at a karaoke place located on Jalan Veteran, Tegal City, Central Java, which killed 6 people.

Tegal City Police Chief AKBP Rully Thomas said the six victims who died in the incident were thought to have been caused by weakly inhaling carbon dioxide.
