Couple murdered near Catanzaro, possibly by 'Ndrangheta (ANSA) - Catanzaro, February 19 - The brutal, double murder of a husband and wife in front of their home on Tuesday near the Calabrian city of Catanzaro could be linked to a local 'Ndrangheta mafia feud, police said.

The couple, 39-year-old Giuseppe Bruno and his 29-year-old wife, Caterina Raimondi were gunned down by an assassin armed with a kalashnikov who shot the two more than 30 times.

Police medical investigators said that the couple died instantly - Bruno from shots to his neck and chest and Raimondi from shots that left her face completely disfigured.

Bruno owned a local travel agency and managed a bar, while Raimondi managed a home goods store.

Bruno's brother was killed last year in an similar ambush.
