Italian police on Friday arrested a
70-year-old man on suspicion of aggravated double homicide in
the deaths of his wife and a friend of hers in a fire in the
couple's home which he allegedly set deliberately near Treviso
last June.
The man, Sergio Miglioranza, allegedly set the arson fire to get
the insurance on the house and on the two women, police said.
Franca Fava, 68, and her friend Fiorella Sandre, 74, died in the
blaze at Castagnole di Paese on June 10.
Their charred bodies were found in the burned-out building the
day after.
The insurance company would have had to pay out hundreds of
thousands of euros for the home and the two women.
Miglioranza lived on the floor above the two women, who both had
mobility problems.
