5 found dead at in arson-homicide at Denver bar

Posted: Updated:

DENVER (AP) -- Denver police think a bar was set fire to hide the slayings of the five people found inside who apparently were killed by other means.

Police Chief Robert White says the blaze at Fero's Bar & Grill in east Denver was reported around 2 a.m. Wednesday.

He says the four women and one man appeared to have suffered other injuries and did not die in the fire.

Police Commander Ronald Saunier says the five were likely the only ones in the bar when the fire started, so police are asking anyone else who was at the place earlier to come forward as investigators try to piece together what happened.
