A deadly fire at a hostel in New Zealand is being treated as suspicious. Fire crews in Wellington have now handed the scene over to the police, and officers are hoping to enter the building within hours. "I again want to provide the reassurance that we have a large number of officers working on this investigation, with the aim of providing them the answers they need as quickly as possible." Tamrat Isse Adan told Stuff.co.nz: "The alarms, they keep going every week, two times, three times, there's no good management there." The second alarm - at 12.30am - was real and Mr Hanify ran around knocking on people's doors, urging them to evacuate.
