No fewer than 68 people have died after fire swept through the cell area inside a police station in Venezuela.

The country’s chief prosecutor, Attorney General Tarek William Saab, said that nearly all the dead were prisoners. He said two women who were staying overnight at the station were also killed, but did not provide any further details.

The blaze is said to have followed a riot by detainees being held at the state police headquarters in Valencia, a town in Carabobo state about 100 miles west of Caracas. Following the sad incident, angry relatives gathered outside the station to find out if their loved ones died in the fire. The relatives demanded to know if their loved ones survived and this led to a clash with police officers in riot gear. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
