A police forensic team
searched for evidence overnight on Sunday after husband and
wife, Vittorio Solano, 68 and Mercedez Ibaniz, 70, were
discovered dead in their home in Palagonia near Catania.
Police arrested an 18-year-old Ivorian man, Mamadou Kamara,
who was found with blood-stained trousers as well as a mobile
phone and clothes belonging to Solano in the Cara di Mineo
migrant reception centre in June.
A police car went round to the couple's home to investigate
the burglary but discovered the killings instead.
Ibaniz' body was found in the courtyard, while Solano was
discovered inside, his body presenting clear signs of a likely
scuffle.
"It is also the state's fault if my parents were killed.
They let these migrants come here and they do what they want,
including burgling and killing" said the couple's daughter
Rosita Solano.
Investigators believe Mamadou may have had an accomplice.
