Three women have been crushed to death in a stampede at a Halloween party in the Spanish capital, Madrid. Two other women are in critical condition.
Thousands of revellers had packed into the Madrid Arena for the party when a stampede, believed to have been caused when someone let off a flare or firecracker in a corridor, created a panic.
An emergency services spokesman says two of the women were killed at the venue and the third died shortly after being rushed to hospital. Halloween has recently become a popular holiday in Spain, coinciding with the traditional All Saints Day festival on November the 1st.
