Two Pakistanis Arrested Over Italy Farm Workers’ Murders

Italian authorities have arrested two Pakistani nationals in connection with the deaths of four Pakistani farm workers whose bodies were discovered inside a burned minivan in southern Italy, according to local media reports.

The charred vehicle was found at a fuel station near the village of Amendolara, located in the agricultural region of Calabria. Investigators reviewing CCTV footage reportedly identified two individuals blocking the van’s doors from the outside before pouring a liquid into the vehicle.

According to law enforcement sources cited by the report, the footage showed flames erupting shortly afterward, with the suspects fleeing the scene. Firefighters later extinguished the blaze and recovered the bodies of four Pakistani workers from inside the vehicle.

Local police chief Antonio Borelli described the incident as a clear case of homicide, stating that investigators are now focused on determining the exact circumstances surrounding the killings.

Media reports noted that the area has witnessed at least 14 arson attacks involving vehicles used by migrant workers in recent months. Authorities believe tensions among migrant communities over farm employment opportunities, residency documentation, and housing arrangements may have contributed to the violence.
