HEAVY RAIN near a town on Lake Garda, Italy, caused a landslide that killed one man and buried a number of cars in mud yesterday.

Local emergency services assisted by rescuers from Varese and Venice reached the landslide near the town of Riva del Garda at the most northerly point of the picturesque lake and managed to recover the body of one victim, a spokesman said.
