A northern Italian jeweller who killed
two would-be robbers near Cuneo on April 28 has now been charged
with multiple culpable homicide, sources said Tuesday.
Mario Roggero, a jeweller in the town of Grinzane Cavour, had
previously been charged with culpable excessive legitimate
self-defence.
Roggero, who wounded a third attempted robber, has also been
charged now with attempted homicide and illegal possession of
firearms.
Prosecutors in Asti said he had "fired at the bandits who were
unarmed, unloading the whole of his gun's chamber in order to
cause death, voluntarily exceeding in such a way the limits of
legitimate defence of property".
