JAKARTA - The Hong Kong Police arrested 13 people in connection with the alleged murder following a violent fire in the housing complex.

China Central Television, owned by the government, reported the death toll from the fire increased to 151 people, with more than 30 people still missing.

Reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Monday, December 1, seven of the 20 construction net samples that do not meet the standard of fire resistance have reportedly been collected at the location of the fire. Police are still investigating the incident, Xinhua reported.

On November 26, the fire that scorched all eight buildings in the Wang Fuk Court housing complex became Hong Kong's worst in 17 years.

A South China Morning Post (SCMP) newspaper report said the fire started with a bamboo device mounted for renovation at a Wang Fuk Court building, but then spread to three other buildings.

There were no reports of Russian citizens being victims of the incident, Russian Consulate General spokesman in Hong Kong Yekaterina Bogucharskaya told RIA Novosti last week.
