An aspiring teenage footballer has died after being allegedly thrown into a fast-flowing river over a £40 debt.
Abdou Ngom, 13, was allegedly thrown into the Tanaro River in Verduno, Piedmont region, Italy, after he and four boys travelled there from their homes in a nearby town to spend time at a riverside beach.
The Juvenile Prosecutor's Office in Turin has reportedly charged one of the teenagers with voluntary manslaughter. He is currently confined to house arrest.
Police interrogations revealed he may have acted to take back €50 (£40) Abdou owed him.
One boy told police: 'Abdou said he couldn't swim, but the other guy grabbed him and threw him in the water.'
