Investigations are continuing into what caused a massive fire that destroyed a leading computer science research unit at the University of Southampton.

Gas canisters exploded inside the Mountbatten building on Salisbury Road, Highfield, which was engulfed by a 100ft plume of smoke on Sunday morning.

No-one was hurt but the building, which housed valuable equipment for research, was gutted. It has been estimated that the fire caused £50m worth of damage.
