Three men from various parts of the country arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.... 
Sir Peter Soulsby hit back, saying: “It has all the appearance of a tragic accident and trying to turn that into political capital is disgusting." talking about nick griffin's statement
AND THEN 3 people are arrested for manslaughter as above from latalomne
really strange that no one knows so why does he declare it is a tragic accident when mr soulsby hasn't a clue either but claims the moral high ground.
I don't suppose the three are negligent landlords?? Or business rivals or right wing etc etc

dave - Sonko's question is a valid one. What was the TARGET - the people in the flat or the business premise?
I doubt even Guy Fawkes would have expected such an incredible demolition.

Arum Kurd is the bloke identified as the shopkeeper soon after the event.
Petrol was spread throughout the shop causing the explosion.
What's odd is why have they only been charged with manslaughter and not murder?

Guilty of Murder. As we ALL knew. Some relief at last for the odds-on backers this Xmas.
I take it there's going to be no-one coming forward to make excuses for them now. Even some supposedly sane people were forming a queue to scream 'Accident' at the time.
