3 arrested over Italian doctor killing

(ANSA) - Rome, November 30 - Three people have been arrested in Kenya over the homicide of Italian doctor Rita Fossaceca at the weekend, local media quoted police spokesman Charles Owino as saying on Monday. Fossaceca, a 51-year-old from the northern Italian city of Novara, was shot dead after trying to protect her mother when she was attacked by a machete-wielding assailant, apparently during a robbery, in Mijomboni, a small village near Malindi. She frequently went to Kenya as a volunteer for the For Life NGO.
