Shelve charges agst 11 in 13-yr-old's death-prosecutor

(ANSA) - Milan, November 20 - An Italian prosecutor on Tuesday asked a judge to shelve manslaughter charges against 11 people including technicians of Milan city council in the February 14 death of a 13-year-old boy, Haitam Errafi, in an apartment block fire in Via Cogne in Milan.
    Prosecutor Ilaria Perinu said charges of culpable manslaughter and culpable fire-starting should be dropped after a probe established that the building's electrical system was fit for purpose.
    It is thought that a short-circuit caused the fire which started in the apartment below the one in which the boy died.
