The questioning of two American teenagers who confessed to their involvement in the slaying of a newlywed police officer in Rome last week was conducted lawfully, an Italian prosecutor said Tuesday.
Cerciello Rega and his partner"were attacked immediately" by the two teens on a street corner in Rome in the early morning hours of July 26, according to Gen. Francesco Gargaro, the commander of the Carabinieri in Italy's capital. They then allegedly robbed a man who had directed them to the drug dealer who ripped them off, taking his backpack and demanding he pay them 100 euros and a gram of cocaine to get it back. The man agreed but, unbeknownst to Elder and Natale-Hjorth, he also contacted authorities, according to the police spokesman.
Investigators also discovered a knife believed to be the murder weapon and blood-soaked clothes hidden in the ceiling of the teens' hotel room, police said.
What drugs can do to the minds of the youth.
Condolence to the family of the newly married slain cop.
Omg? Aren't they allowed to carry a backup? Even when they have one, things go wrong, guns jam or get knocked away. I'm not one that believes more guns is a solution but with a job like that, it's only fair to keep them safe.
