It is understood that the football fans assembled at the centre to watch the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-final match between Manchester United and Anderlecht on satellite television when the live electricity cable broke from its mooring and fell on them.
It was earlier gathered that over 30 people lost their lives, however, an official report from the state police claimed that the high-tension cable which fell inside the viewing centre killed only seven people with several others injured.
Manchester United won the match 3-2 aggregate, with Marcus Rashford netting the winner in the 107th minute.
