Briton named as nightclub blaze victim

Michael Pio Tzouvanni, 24, from London, was caught up in the blaze at the Tiger Discotheque on the island of Phuket in the early hours of Friday.

He had been with two friends but split up from them just before the fire broke out.

Three other people, believed to be two Thai women and a French man, also died, while at least 11 people were injured.

Police in Thailand said Mr Tzouvanni died from smoke inhalation. A Foreign Office spokesman confirmed officials were providing consular assistance to his family.
