At least 124 people have been killed and more than 150 injured after a roof collapsed at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic’s capital, Santo Domingo. A provincial governor and former Major League Baseball pitcher, Octavio Dotel, was among the victims. The incident happened in the early hours yesterday at a concert by popular merengue singer Rubby Pérez at the Jet Set nightclub. He was also among those killed in the incident. Hundreds of people were inside the venue, and some 400 rescuers are still searching for survivors. There are fears the death toll will rise further.
