Worker dies in Marrubiu: investigation opened for manslaughter

An accident at work , that of Marrubiu , still to be clarified. The investigators returned again today to the Sepi Formaggi company to try to collect all the elements necessary to shed light on the fall from the elevator that cost the life of Antonio Meloni , 75 years old from Terralba.

The investigation into manslaughter continues, an autopsy and further investigations have been ordered.

The Carabinieri of the Provincial Command Investigative Unit arrived at the dairy overlooking State Road 131 together with the head of the investigation, Deputy Prosecutor Marco De Crescenzo . A new and thorough inspection to try to clarify the dynamics of the mysterious accident . It remains to be understood what the worker was doing on that disused elevator, around which there would also have been signs prohibiting its use . But above all, we must try to reconstruct that fatal fall and the causes that determined it. The impact was certainly very violent but the 75-year-old managed to get up and was accompanied outside by other workers who were in the company warehouse. He would also have said a few words, then the collapse in the square where the 118 doctor tried to save his life.

The Carabinieri continued to interview witnesses yesterday, they are trying to put together the various pieces. The workers continue to repeat that everyone knew they shouldn't have used that lift that had been out of order for a long time, so it seems strange that Meloni (an expert and trusted worker) used it or at least climbed on it .

There are many aspects to clarify, many also being examined by Spresal officials who will have to ascertain whether the rules on safety in the workplace have been respected. And important answers could arrive on Monday, when a forensic doctor from Roberto Demontis' staff will perform the autopsy . At the moment there are no suspects, but presumably in view of the examination of the body some names will end up in the investigation, at least as an act due to guarantee anyone who may be involved in the affair.
