Four nabbed in Italian doc Kenya murder

(supersedes previous)(ANSA) - Rome, November 30 - A fourth suspect has been arrested on suspicion of ordering the hit on doctor and NGO volunteer Rita Fossaceca in Kenya, police spokesman Charles Owino told RAI public broadcaster's GR1 radio Monday. Fossaceca, 51, was shot dead at the weekend while trying to protect her mother, Michelina, from a machete-wielding assailant in the small village of Mijomboni near Malindi.
    Her father, Giovanni, was shot in the head and shoulder.
    Two Italian nurses who were traveling with Fossaceca and her parents, named Monica Zanellato and Paola Lenghini, were also wounded during the attack, which took place in a house they were all staying at.
    The Molise-born doctor lived and worked in the northern Italian city of Novara. She frequently went to Kenya as a volunteer at For Life humanitarian non-profit, which runs an orphanage and clinic in Mijomboni.
    Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni, Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin, Molise Governor Paolo di Laura Frattura, and the archbishop of Novara all hailed the victim for her humanitarian commitment.
