The uncle of a six-year-old boy
who died after being thrown from an apartment near Genoa by his
father in a bid to save him from a fire on Monday blamed a delay
in the arrival of firefighters for the fatality.
"The information we have is that the firefighters came not
before 20 minutes (after the alarm was sounded) - too long"
Antonino Sansone said.
"Maybe our nephew could have been saved".
The boy's funeral will take place on Thursday.
His parents will not be able to attend as they are in
hospital with the injuries they suffered after throwing
themselves out of the flat.
