Three of the stampede victims were aged 13, 14 and 16, city prosecutors were quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.

[Mexico City Police Chief] Mr Ortega said the venue had a single entrance and an emergency exit, which he said was blocked by cases of beer.

"Many of the people concentrated at the club's emergency exit, but it was too small and it was there that people died of asphyxia," he said.

But a club employee told the Associated Press that police had blocked the exit.

Mexico City's mayor has accused police of making serious errors during a raid at a packed nightclub which led to the deaths of 12 people in a stampede.

Marcelo Ebrard also suspended all public employees directly involved in the raid on the News Divine club.

Not bad for a denial artist, who escaped responsibility for his inaction at the attempted lynching of policemen when he was himself Mexico City's police chief.

He is also known for anti-youth and anti-paed measures, such as "anti-drug" confiscation laws that target lower class youth, UK-style big-brother permanent surveillance cameras, and support for harsher sex offender laws, including chemical castration.
