A spokesperson for Real Plaza said: ‘At Real Plaza, we deeply regret what happened at our shopping centre in Trujillo and express our sincerest condolences to the families of the deceased.
79 others have been injured following the incident at around 8.40pm last night at the Real Plaza shopping centre in Trujillo, Peru.
This is the moment survivors were pulled out of the rubble after a roof collapse at a shopping centre that killed six people.
An investigation into the collapse is looking into possible negligence and safety standards at the shopping centre, which was ordered to close in December 2023 due to structural deficiencies, according to Once Noticias.
More than 300 people were at the shopping centre at the time of the collapse, including children.
