(ANSA) - Naples, June 30 - Police arrested five alleged members of the Naples Camorra mafia on Tuesday in connection with the killing of 25-year-old Raffaele Canfora last March 18.
    Canfora's body was found in a field one month after investigators say he was killed by 25-year-old Raffaele Stefanelli - who in the meantime had been jailed for other crimes - and another youth who was 17 at the time of the murder.
    Investigators say Stefanelli and the accompanying minor killed Canfora after Canfora picked them up with his car, and the body was then handled by Stefanelli's mother and two of her son-in-laws. Patrizia Zinno, 50, Gaetano Amato, 32, and Gennaro De Luca, 35, allegedly buried Canfora's body in the field near Caserta where it was found on April 19 by a man walking his dog.
    The killing was allegedly over a drug-dealing territory dispute.
    In the investigation, police made use of a recording from a bugging device that had been placed in the victim's car, which recorded his killing, as well as a recording from a bugging device placed in Stefanelli's jail cell, in which police say he admitted to killing Canfora.
