Missing Chinese student found dead (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, December 9 - The body of a young woman found in the Tor Sapienza area of Rome early Friday is that of a 20-year-old Chinese student Zhang Yao Natain, who disappeared in the area Monday, police said after the body was ID'd. She is believed to have been run over by a train while chasing thieves who stole her bag, they said. Zhang came to Rome to frequent the Fine Arts Academy (Accademia dele Belle Arti) and went missing after going to Rome's immigration office to get her student's residency permit. Initially police suspected a kidnapping for ransom. Police said they had received a report overnight that there was a body lying in a bush near the railway lines.
