Indonesian police said on Tuesday that the gates at the soccer stadium where police fired tear gas and set off a deadly crush were too small and could only accommodate two at a time when hundreds were trying to escape.

Photos from the Malang stadium showed four connecting doors forming one gate. Police said investigation was focused on six of the 14 gates where most of the spectators died in the crush.
