LEMON: Police open a murder probe after a factory fire kills more than 250 workers in Pakistan. A senior police official says locked exit doors prevented many workers from escaping. Right now, police are searching for the factory's owner and his two sons. Reza Sayah has more now in Islamabad.</s>REZA SAYAH, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: The search for bodies and the recovery operation is over at the site of the factory fire. Now, all the focus and the attention shifts to the investigation, finding out how this fire started and why more than 250 people were killed. Investigators say there's evidence that shows many of the exits of this factory were locked, that many of the safety regulations were ignored and that's perhaps why investigators have registered intentional murder cases against the factory owner, his two sons, the factory managers. Even the government officials who reported to investigators may have failed to enforce the safety codes. Once investigators are done with their probe, they'll submit their findings to prosecutors who will eventually decide on formal charges. At this point, it seems unlikely that prosecutors would be able to prove in court that the factory owner and the managers intentionally trapped and killed these workers, but the fact they're talking about a heavy charge like that would seem to suggest that they want to project that they're taking this matter seriously. The factory owner and his two sons are still missing. Police believe they are in hiding. This is a fire that put the focus on what labor policy experts here call a lack of regulation when it comes to safety codes and labor laws. Those experts say the government in Pakistan oftentimes doesn't have the resources or the political will to address these issues. They also say the international community and the media continue to ignore these issues and they say, until that changes, the condition is right for these disasters to happen again.
