Italian police arrest two people over the deaths of four migrant farm workers found burned inside a minivan in southern Italy. The vehicle is discovered at a petrol station near the village of Amendolara in the Calabria region, an agricultural area that relies on migrant labour. Police say the four victims were Pakistani nationals and that the suspects are also Pakistani, according to reporting across multiple outlets. Authorities describe the incident as an apparent arson attack. NBC News and other coverage cite testimony from a lone survivor who spoke to Italian media after the deaths, describing the circumstances leading up to the fire and referring to one of the men who died as having sought contract work rather than informal or uncontracted arrangements. The reports focus on the police investigation and the arrests, with details centered on where the burned-out vehicle is found and the identities and nationality of the victims and suspects. All accounts are consistent that the case involves the alleged torching of a car that kills four people, and that two suspects are taken into custody as investigations continue.
