'Bicycle killer' turns self in (2)

(ANSA) - Ferrara, July 26 - A suspect in a fatal shooting Sunday in the town of Fossanova San Marco has turned himself in, Ferrara media reported Tuesday. Simone Bertocchi, 36, reportedly confessed to murdering Roberto Tosi Savonuzzi, 73, and gravely wounding his wife Raffaella Pareschi of the same age. He also told police where he ditched the murder weapon.
    Savonuzzi died on the spot and Pareschi was hospitalized in critical condition. Bertocchi, who is the boyfriend of the elderly couple's granddaughter Sabrina, had gone to their home along with an unnamed individual, and shot them when they answered the door. Bertocchi and the other individual both fled on bicycles after the crime.
    Tosi had been about to report suspicions that someone was stealing his 82-year-old landlord Vittorio Chiccoli's retirement check and this may have been the murder motive, La Nuova Ferrara daily reported.
