Two days after the death of a fairground worker during manipulation work on an attraction at the Easter fair in Caen (Calvados), two men were taken into custody for involuntary manslaughter and concealed work on Tuesday April 16, reports France Normandy Blue.

This is the owner of the ride, as well as the operator of the attraction who was in the cabin during the accident, indicates France Bleu. The victim was the de facto manager, “because no one was really declared on this ride”specifies the public prosecutor of Caen, Joël Garrigue.
