The 118 call for help can still be heard in the officers’ ears. Last Friday around 11 a.m., a woman answered. She is Moroccan, speaks Arabic. Her voice is weak, her despair is great. “We were run over by a combine harvester,” she tells the translator who has been called. “My girlfriend is dead, I am badly injured”.
When the officers finally reach the maize field after more than 30 hours of searching, they are presented with a horrific picture: Two female corpses with serious injuries. The women had obviously been hit by a heavy agricultural machine and dragged along (Blick reported). Any help comes too late for caller Sara E. * († 28).
Unfamiliar cell phones, blankets and aluminum foil at the place where the bodies were found
But what happened in that corn field in San Giuliano Milanese on the Milan city motorway is possibly more than a shocking accident. The police and the public prosecutor’s office are investigating at full speed. Your assumption: Sara E. and Hanan N. * † (32) were not alone when the agricultural machine ran over them.
Stranger cell phones were found near the corpses. There were blankets lying around, beer cans and aluminum foil. Evidence that there was bivouac here on Friday night. In addition, the site of the corpses was found near a grove known as a drug hub. Had the Moroccans met their dealers?
Agricultural machine sprayed crop protection products
It was day when the farm machine rushed across the field. Why didn’t Sara E. and Hanan N. hear the heavy vehicle? The police quickly identified the farmer who ran over the possibly drugged or sleeping women. The agricultural machine was not used as a combine harvester, but equipped with a field sprayer and sprayed pesticides on the maize.
It is possible that the women were not only crushed under the four-meter-high tires of the vehicle. They could also have been poisoned with the sprayed insecticide, so another thesis of the police, reports MilanoToday. “I didn’t notice anything”, meanwhile the driver Andrea P. * (28) asserts during the interrogation.
The farmer from Lacchiarella (I) is being investigated for negligent homicide. The bodies of the two women will be autopsied on Wednesday. Forensic medicine should clarify, among other things, whether they had taken drugs. Sara E.’s lifestyle in particular suggests that there may have been contact with dealers. The young woman was on record for robbery and was considered an addict.
