LOCKED IN BLDG
8 women die in fire
MANILA – Eight women died here yesterday as a fire engulfed a building in which they had been locked in by their employer, police said.
Eight other women survived the blaze by climbing to the roof of the two-storey building and jumping off, police officer Cris Gabutin, an investigator in the case, said.
"They said the gate was locked. It was dark and they could not find a way out. It was a lucky thing they were able to get out to the roof and jump," Gabutin said.
The bodies of the eight other women were found sprawled in one room, Gabutin said. "It was like they were trapped. Maybe they panicked and could not find their way out," he said.
