Police identify sixth victim of Frenštát blast

Using a DNA analysis, the police have identified a sixth victim of last weekend’s blast in an apartment block in the north Moravian town of Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, a spokeswoman said. The explosion killed three children, two women and a man; another 11 people suffered injuries. The police believe the only man who died in the explosion, a 57-year-old tenant of one of the apartments, deliberately set if off by opening a gas valve in the basement of the building. Further tests to determine what happened should be finished in several weeks’ time.
