A mural of the Blessed Virgin cradling a bottle of beer on the rooftops of Boston, Lincolnshire. The image appeared overnight, shortly after a vodka still situated on the edge of town exploded killing five Lithuanian men.
The men were named as Vaidas Krupenkinas (39), Laimutis Simkus (32), Ovidijus Mejeris (26), Ricardas Gecas (24), and Erlandas Duzinskas (18).
The inquest determined the likely cause was a cigarette igniting flammable vapours, with accidental death recorded as the verdict.
It is speculated that the mural reflects on how much of the the migrant worker demographic of the town depends on alcohol to ameliorate the conditions in which they find themselves.
