Three people arrested after passers-by killed in Gorzow wall collapse

Two passers-by were killed yesterday in the northwestern city of Gorzow when a four-meter-high wall collapsed on them. The wall belonged to a barracks owned by the Interbud West company, which had contracted the local ZUST company to demolish the building. According to building inspector Marek Puchalski, the barracks should have been encircled by a six-meter-wide fence. The police have arrested three people; a crane operator, the manager of the demolition site, and a deputy director of ZUST. The local prosecutor will decide tomorrow if they are to face charges.
