A Danish man has been charged with negligent homicide in connection with the boat accident in Tuscany on Saturday that killed a 58-year-old Italian man and most likely killed a woman who has been missing since the crash.

It is believed that three more Danes were on board the yacht and that all four have since returned to Denmark.

Six charged with illegal sale of e-cigarettes
