Police on the Italian island of Sicily have arrested an ambulance worker suspected of killing many people while being driver of life saving ambulance.

The driver injected air into the veins of at least three terminally ill patients as they were on the way back to their homes.

The reason is quite shocking as he is being paid by the funeral parlor linked to the mafia.

He is said to have been paid €300 (£265) for each corpse.

Italian media named it as  “Ambulances of death” scandal.

It is alleged that the suspect injected air into the veins of patients – causing them to die of an embolism – as they were being transported back to the small inland town of Biancavilla.

The 42-year-old man is said to have then taken advantage of grieving families by recommending a funeral agency linked to the Sicilian mafia, from which he gained a commission.

Reports suggest the scheme could have been operating since 2012 and there could have been many other victims.

Investigators say they have looked into dozens of deaths in Biancavilla but only 12 have so far been deemed “meaningful” and only three have been presented to an investigating magistrate.
