A 50-year-old man was arrested
Thursday on suspicion of killing his 47-year-old wife and a
33-year-old friend of hers at Ortona near Chieti in Abruzzo.
Francesco Marfisi, a gas-company employee, confessed to the
murders, police said, and the knife he used was recovered. The
man was in the process of separating from his wife, Letizia
Primiterra, police said. Marfisi murdered her in a neighbour's
house she was staying in, and then went to her friend Laura
Pezzella's house and killed her too.
