The parish priest: A tragic fate, I don't think it's someone's fault

The parish priest who will celebrate mass, don Giuseppe Buraglio, spoke of what happened saying that he believed it was a fatality. "I don't think it was anyone's fault – he told Adnkronos -.

A sad fatality, but I also believe that the magistrates will shed light on the matter ".
