Argentina charges five over death of singer Liam Payne

Five people have been indicted in Argentina over the death of British singer Liam Payne, who fell from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony in October after consuming alcohol and drugs, prosecutors said Monday.

Three of the five were charged with manslaughter and the other two with supplying the former One Direction pop star with illegal drugs.

The latter two have been ordered to be taken into custody but the others have been allowed to remain free, the prosecutors said. 

In November, Argentine officials had unveiled initial charges against three people in the death of Payne. Monday's decision means that five will now go on trial.
