Police called ‘hours before’ Seoul Halloween crush

The first call to police from the popular Itaewon nightlife district in South Korea's capital, Seoul, came ‘several hours’ before the deadly crush took place.

More than 150 people died in the incident and South Korea's interior minister Lee Sang-min has since apologised.

All the victims have been identified and memorial altars have been set up at the Seoul city hall where citizens have been paying their respects.
