Priest and thermal cradle technician probed for infant death

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 7 - An Italian parish priest and a technician responsible for a thermal cradle where abandoned babies are left have been placed under investigation in relation to the January 2 death of an infant found in the cradle after the cleric's alarm supposed to alert him to a new arrival failed to go off, legal sources said Tuesday.
    Don Antonio Ruccia and the unnamed technician face possible manslaughter charges, the sources said.
    The episode happened at Bari's San Giovanni Battista church.
