(supersedes previous)A suspect
in the murder of a special needs teacher told police Friday he
and an accomplice "strangled her in the car and threw her away".
Roberto Obert, 54, confessed soon after he was picked up in
connection with the murder of Gloria Rosboch, 49, whose remains
were found in the woods outside the small town of Rivara in
Turin province earlier in the day.
Obert is believed to be a friend of 22-year-old Gabriele
Defilippi, an ex-student of Rosboch's who was also arrested
Friday in connection with her killing.
The teacher went missing from her home in the town of
Castellamonte on January 13.
Defilippi is also being investigated for defrauding the
victim of 187,000 euros. Rosboch withdrew that sum from the bank
over a year ago, and gave the money to Defilippi for investment.
She reported her former student for fraud in September.
