Three hooded men broke into
the home of an Italian man living in Spain and stabbed him to
death, sources said Wednesday.
The incident took place early on Monday at the home of
victim Claudio Lanfranchi, 49, near the Spanish port city of
Alicante where he had been living for about a year.
Lanfranchi's Romanian girlfriend was tied up with tape and
gagged while the killers ripped the mattresses and turned the
house inside out, apparently searching for something.
They spoke with a Neapolitan accent, she told Spanish
police investigators.
They made off with 3,000 euros in cash and some bottles of
liquor.
The victim, a native of the Lombard village of Ardesio, had
a criminal record for drugs.
