Three young women, aged between 18 and 25, have died and two more are in a critical condition after being crushed in a crowd at the Arena House in Madrid, during a Halloween party featuring some of Europe’s best known DJ’s. It appears the tragedy occurred after someone threw a flare into the crowd, causing panic and the ensuing crush. The venue is capable of holding up to 10,000 people, although it is unknown how many were in the premises at the time.
