Hope of tape clue to ‘torch’ killings
NZPA-AP London Detectives will examine a video recording that may have captured on tape the human-torch killers of two amusement arcade employees. Security cameras were installed at the arcade in London’s Chinatown where robbers doused four victims with petrol
and set them alight, killing two and leaving the others with horrific in-, juries. But it is not yet known whether the cameras were running when the killers struck. The Asian victims, cashiers and security guards at the arcade, were turned into human torches for the sake of £lOOO ($2800).
