An eyewitness said: “The kid was screaming and covered in blood. To begin with, everyone thought the explosion was planned, then we realized something had gone terribly wrong.

“Bits of the guy and other debris flew towards us in every direction, like spears. The bits of wood were burning hot.

“People were shouting in panic, and the worst hit were lying on the floor. They had just lit the effigy, and the idea was that it would light up and burn surrounded by flares.”

Unbelievable!
