The death toll has risen to 76 and four people have been arrested in Turkey after a ski resort hotel caught fire in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Packed for the school holidays, 234 guests were staying in the 161-room Grand Kartal Otel in Kartalkaya when the fire broke out around 3.

Turkey has detained nine people, including the owner of the hotel, in connection with a deadly fire that claimed the lives of 76 people and injured dozens at a ski resort in western Turkey, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Wednesday.
