Rome prosecutors will send their
Egyptian counterparts investigating the Cairo torture and murder
of Italian student Giulio Regeni a fresh request for key
evidence in the case at the end of this week, sources said
Monday. Regeni was abducted in Cairo on January 25 and his
burned, beaten, stabbed and mutilated body turned up in a ditch
on the city's outskirts on February 3. Italy last week summoned
its ambassador from Cairo after Egypt failed for the umpteenth
time to turn over key evidence that could help solve the case,
such as cell phone records. Egyptian authorities have offered up
a series of scenarios for how the atrocity occurred, ranging
from a road accident to a gay lovers' spat to a kidnapping for
ransom gone wrong. Italy has not found any of these versions
credible.
