A cattle is seen nex to the damaged farm of Antonio Di Marco in the village of Rocchetta, some 25kms from the central Italian village of Amatrice, on August 28, 2016, four days after a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck the region, killing nearly 300 people.
Shoddy, price-cutting renovations, in breach of local building regulations, could be partly to blame for the high death toll from this week's devastating earthquake in central Italy, according to a prosecutor investigating the disaster. As questions mount over the deaths of nearly 300 people, prosecutor Giuseppe Saieva indicated that property owners who commissioned suspected sub-standard work could be held responsible for contributing to the quake's deadly impact. / AFP / ALBERTO PIZZOLI        (Photo credit should read ALBERTO PIZZOLI/AFP via Getty Images)
