'Circeo massacre' case reopened

Body believed to be that of Andrea Ghira to be exhumed in Spain

A notorious 1975 case of rape, torture and murder at the plush Circeo resort south of Rome was reopened Friday when the body of one of the perpetrators, Andrea Ghira, was ordered to be exhumed in the Spanish North African city of Melilla where he was buried under a false name.
    The latest DNA technology will be used to definitively establish that the body is that of Ghira, who was buried as Maximo Testa De Andres.
    An initial DNA test in 2005 identified it as Ghira but Italian prosecutors now want to be absolutely sure he is dead and not hiding somewhere.
    The case was reopened after a report by a missing persons show on RAI TV, 'Chi l'ha visto'' (Who Has Seen Him?).
    Ghira and two other neo-Fascists, Angelo Izzo and Gianni Guido, were handed life-sentences in July 1976 for murdering 19- year-old Maria Rosaria Lopez and attempting to murder Donatella Colasanti after torturing and raping them at a villa owned by Ghiri's father at Circeo, a wealthy seaside resort about 100km south of Rome. The three, all from well-off and well-connected families in Rome's Parioli neighbourhood, all managed to elude justice for several years, some by escaping abroad.
