A 34-year-old Italian man on
Wednesday night confessed to killing his 90-year-old neighbour
with an iron bar he had found on a riverbank near Biella
northwest of Milan.
Lorenzo Osella said he killed pensioner Dino Baglioni and
then put him in his bed so as to make people think he had died a
natural death.
But a medical examiner found signs of several fractures to
the skull.
The murder took place in the victim's home at Pralungo.
Police think Baglioni may have surprised Osella while he was
burglarising his apartment.
