TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras As workers cleaned up the rubble of the century's
deadliest prison fire, a collective rage built among relatives who
gathered at the morgue and said the official explanation of a mattress
fire killing 355 people was absurd.
.
Details of the investigation remained thin early Friday, and mystery
swirled around the possible cause, from a crazed inmate who set fire to
his bedding to rumors that gas cans were found inside and that guards
deliberately set the blaze.
.
Family members said guards fired on prisoners to keep them from fleeing
the flames, though guards and firefighters said they were shots in the air
to summon help and to respond to what they thought was a prison break.
.
The attorney general's office said it was investigating all angles.
.
"It's impossible to believe that prisoners set the fire themselves when
they too were going to die," said Felix Armando Cardona, 56, whose son,
Luis Armando Cardona, 28, died in the blaze that broke out in Comayagua
prison late Tuesday night.
.
In Geneva, the U.N.'s human rights office said Friday that an independent
probe is needed and that Honduras must prevent a recurrence since it was
the third fatal prison fire in a Honduran prison in a decade.
.
From the time firefighters received a call at 10:59 p.m., what should have
been a rescue became a catastrophe.
.
Only six guards were on duty, four in towers overlooking the prison and
two overseeing 852 people crowded into a facility built for half that
number. Some 57 percent had yet to be convicted, either awaiting trial or
being held as suspected gang members, according to a government report.
.
Survivors said they watched helplessly as the guard who had the keys fled
without unlocking their cells.
.
"He threw the keys on the floor in panic," said Hector Daniel Martinez,
who was being held as a homicide suspect.
.
Martinez said an inmate who was not locked in because he also worked as a
nurse picked up the keys and, braving the scorching heat, went from one
cell block to another, opening doors.
