Failed 'romance-murder' plot leads to six arrests in Naples (ANSA) - Naples, March 5 - A failed plan hatched last year by a pregnant minor and her boyfriend to kill the girl's father led to six arrests in Naples Tuesday.

The two decided to murder Pasquale Vito after he had protested against the girl's relationship with her boyfriend, Raffaele Guarino.

Police arrested Guarino, who shot Pasquale Vito in the stomach in a masked drive-by attack October 18, together with Guarino's mother, two brothers and Ciro Noto.

Vito survived the shooting.

Police arrested Guarino's brothers and Noto after investigations into the attempted murder led the police to discover that the three were involved in drug trafficking.

The fate of the girl, who is her eighth month of pregnancy, will be determined by the juvenile court.
