Eighth victim pulled dead from landslide

-

Italian search teams digging through meters of mud and debris for a third day recovered the eighth victim Monday, identified by the Naples prefect as a 15-year-old boy whose younger siblings were also confirmed dead over the weekend.

Victims include a 3-week-old infant who was named Giovangius­eppe after the island's patron saint, and his parents.

Exceptiona­lly heavy rain caused a chunk of Mount Epomeo to come crashing down before dawn on Saturday, gaining speed as it entered the populated port town of Casamiccio­la, where it demolished buildings and carried cars and buses into the sea.
