At least 33 minors were among those killed in the stampede at an Indonesian football stadium at the weekend, an official confirmed Tuesday.

The youngest identified so far of the 131 people killed was a toddler about three or four years old.

The national Police on Monday sacked the Malang district Police chief as part of an investigation into the stampede on Saturday at the Stadium.

It is among the world’s worst sports disasters.

Nine other commanding officers were suspended and under questioning on suspicion of ordering security personnel to fire tear gas inside the stadium.

Chaos erupted after thousands of fans invaded the pitch as hosts Arema FC lost 3-2 to rival East Java club Persebaya Surabaya.

Police fired tear gas to quell the pitch invaders, sending spectators scrambling to the exit gates.
