 [BBC] Two US students have been found guilty of murdering a police officer in Italy following a year-long trial.Mario Cerciello Rega, 35, was stabbed to death as he investigated a drug deal gone wrong in central Rome in 2019. Californian students Finnegan Lee Elder and Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth were both given life sentences. Elder had admitted to stabbing Rega 11 times but maintained that he acted in self-defence, believing the police officer was a criminal. Natale-Hjorth, 20, was convicted of helping him to conceal the weapon. Under Italian law, accomplices can also be charged with murder. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-05-06 |
