Italian student Giulio Regeni was killed in an apartment in the centre of Cairo before his body was dumped on a desert road from Cairo to Alexandria, independent Egyptian daily Al Masry Al Youm said on its website Wednesday.
It did not cite sources but only "investigations" by the Giza police.
The investigative team "went over the last movements of the victim before his disappearance on the evening of January 25" and also "saw his last calls before he turned off his telephone," the website report said.
