(ANSA) Cassino, December 11 - A third Carabiniere was placed
under investigation Wednesday for complicity in the murder of a
student in Arce near Frosinone south of Rome killed more than 16
years ago.
The officer, who was not immediately named, joins another
four people including two other Carabinieri already under
investigation for Serena Mollicone's murder.
The Carabiniere works in another town.
A recent forensic report said damage to the Arce Carabinieri
barracks door was compatible with the skull fracture suffered by
Mollicone.
A probe is also continuing into the apparent suicide in 2008
of Carabiniere Santino Tuzi, found with a shot to the head in
his car, fired by his service revolver.
Tuzi had said he saw Mollicone entering the barracks on the
day she disappeared, June 1, 2001.
Two days later she was found dead in a wood with her hands
and feet bound and a plastic bag over her head.
The three people already under investigation are then warrant
officer Franco Mottola, his wife and son.
