A construction magnate and more than a dozen other people have surrendered to police on criminal negligence charges for the collapse of a Bangkok high-rise during a March 28 earthquake.

A Thai construction tycoon and 14 others surrendered to police on Friday over a building collapse that killed nearly a hundred workers during a powerful earthquake in March, authorities said.  The partially built 30-storey State Audit Office tower in Bangkok was the only building to collapse from tremors emanating from the powerful 7.

The building, meant to house Thailand’s State Audit Office, was the only structure in the Southeast Asian country to collapse in the quake in neighbouring Myanmar, killing 92 people. View on euronews
