POLICE are investigating whether a bus fire in a town west of the Swiss capital that killed at least six people was started deliberately.
-
An unspecified "voluntary act" could have caused the fire on Tuesday evening in the town of Kerzers, about 15 miles west of Bern, according to spokesperson Frederic Papaux of Fribourg region.
Five people were also injured in the fire, which for locals echoed a New Year's Eve fire in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana that killed 41 young people.
