A retired road inspector was
killed with three gunshots at close range near the Sardinian
city of Nuoro on Friday, police said.
Antonio Longu, 71, was killed midmorning in the yard of his
home in the village of Lula.
Carabinieri police investigators would not confirm or deny
the victim's neighbor is a suspect, because he allegedly fled.
The last murder in Lula took place a year ago, when animal
breeder Angelo Maria Piras, 40, was shot dead with a rifle on
his farm. His brother and his brother's wife were arrested for
the crime in November.
