He arrives in the white van, gets out to open the gate, enters and closes it behind him. Renzo Lovato is the father of the owner of the agricultural company in Brogo Santa Maria, a Latinwhere he died Satnam Singhthe 31-year-old Indian laborer who lost an arm crushed and torn by the machinery with the roller used to roll up the large plastic sheets used in greenhouses.
Satnam Singh, what happened
Few words from Lovato, whose son is the only one under investigation for the death of the Indian worker, accused of having accompanied him home instead of to the hospital, running away after leaving him there, in the Sant’Ilario di Cisterna district, a few kilometers from farm, with the amputated limb left in a vegetable box.
«I told him, I warned him not to go near that tool, but he did it anyway, on his own.
A lightness that cost everyone dearly. There is sadness because a boy died at work.” His son was initially accused of negligent injury and now has to answer for manslaughter, negligence and violation of workplace safety regulations.
Satnam Singh, the Indian laborer dumped on the street in Latina with his arm amputated, dies: the owner of the company investigated for manslaughter
“Navi”, as he called himself in Italy, died yesterday morning at the San Camillo hospital in Rome. An atrocious death, an arm torn off by the machinery used in the fields. He had been working for 12 hours when it happened, he started work at 5 in the morning, that damned roller mutilated him shortly after 4 in the afternoon. Twelve hours, paid 5 euros an hour. But the atrocity of a very serious accident at work then merged with the horror: loaded by the agricultural entrepreneur for whom he had been working for two years in his van, with the limb resting on a plastic box used for vegetables and the desperate screams of his wife. Abandoned on the doorstep a handful of kilometers away, from the Latina company, Borgo Santa Maria, to the neighboring neighborhood of Sant’Ilario a Cisterna. “Navi” was strong, but his body was not enough to withstand those fatal wounds, that blood lost between the fields and the van, the devastating force of the plastic wrapping machine pulled by the tractor that severed his right arm and crushed his lower limbs .
