Three people have been crushed to death by a wall in the British embassy’s compound in Nepal following an earthquake.

Another two people died in the tremor in Kathmandu. The 6.9-magnitude earthquake was felt across north east India, where four people died in Sikkim state. Rescuers in border city Gangtok, which has a population of 50,000, were last night searching for survivors in fallen buildings.
