The highway patrol on
Tuesday arrested a 75-year-old man for the attempted murder of a
25-year-old Moldovan prostitute earlier in the day.
The victim was shot after an argument and is hospitalized
in critical condition.
Alleged perp Antonio Matarazzo, who lives in the coastal
town of Diamante in the southern Calabria region, was arrested
on the highway near the town of Sala Consilina in the Campania
region, having traveled some way north of the scene of the
crime.
The gun used in the attack was still in his car, police
said.
